Supreme Marketing Defined

[Zing]

Bose and Monster are likely holding their heads high.

This ad is so bad, the guy behind it may just qualify for a Darwin Award. I almost posted this in the funniest picture thread.

I scanned the ad from Stereophile and uploaded a large enough file to allow for reading every single word.



Enjoy!

A major scam. I would bet that in reality there are no such speakers.

The "get free speakers" thing is the scam indicator.

It's real and they're real. They even have 3 BBB complaints (which is probably not surprising) however they have also satisfactorily resolved each of the complaints.

My OP however, was more about his advertising approach than product suspicion. Even the website is little else than the ad all over again.

Those things are fugly.

Damn, where's my checkbook?

Looks legit to me.

I can see that actually happening as a real speaker from a guy working in his garage. What I question is support - what happens if a tweeter fails?

Damn, where's my checkbook?

...and shit...

I like how if you call you have to leave a recorded message. Um if I'm spending that kind of coin I would hope somebody would answer the phone.

IFIRC, Flint used some Scanspeak drivers in his DIY speakers (the tweeters?). I don't doubt that these speakers use those high-end parts. However, what about the design of the enclosures? And, as Flint mentioned, what about support?
