Good grief...

I just love this quote from the description :-

"The technology is similar to the Beolab 8000 speakers, however they are not powered amp".

So the technology is not at all like the Beolab 8000's then? someone simply got a piece of tracing paper & laid it over some BL8000's & then drew their own version from it - except they couldn't be bothered with the meaningless bits like the amps....😁

Surely there's some copyright infringement going on here.

😂😂😂 Quote of the year so far. On a more serious note: I don't like someone who is violating copyrights!

It says "Made in China" on the label.  😂

Yes, both are "an electromechanical device which produces sound"

OMG, what a rip off! I'm sure they passed the legal line with this copy.

Are these not the ones we have seen before - called the Rocket or something similar. The nature of these is that they will be appalling - a metal tube with car speakers in is always going to be a compromise and, without tailored amplifiers, likely to have all sorts of nasty resonances and no bass.

All metal casing? Have fun getting good thick mains cable into the binding posts without it shorting.

Unless of course they're made out of a plastic of some sort, which wouldn't surprise me looking at the pictures...

One for B&O's legal department I think.😡

The shipping quote is very much B&O like... but at least the price is right at the moment!
