Acoustic Response Speakers ripoff

same story here. guys in a van with high gloss papers showing me how great they were. story was they were "extra speekers for a club". I also bought some speekes too. cost about $300 for two. It might seem starage but they were actually good for me. solid box, grill covers, and overload protection. I had mine for about nine years before they finally quit. I threw a lot of partys in many locatoins with an old school powerful system. The overload always trippred when i pushed them way too far, which i am greatful for. At $300 i was never afraid to push them. two years ago i had to replace them. for store bought speekers at $200. decent box, good grill, but no overload protection. I was Afraid to push them too far. As for my old ones, I could make them vibrate across the the floor with no problems. Now would i pay over $300, not really. I opened up the old ones, and they were made in china. I'm 99.9% sure when i open my new ones they to are made in china. the only scam here in my eyes is pushing "big mart" speekers at a high price. its no different then buying a "certified preowned car" from a car salesman.
