I agree that we have no where near enough information...but what I can understand in the translated page (the text on the graphics means nothing to me) is generally positive
For the purpose of argument, some counterpoints to above:
- 3 way configurations of this size are quite popular, including the NHT-C3, HiVi 3.1, and Polk LsiM-703 discussed in the deals thread.
- I have never heard a speaker's heavy weight as being a negative indicator before - all the white van speakers weigh almost nothing as shipping and cabinet are generally the most expensive parts of speaker construction...so the mfg did not skimp on what is the most obvious indicator of good build quality.
- the 10 element crossovers with air core coils look great - this is another area where white van speakers always skimp
- As stated earlier, bi-wiring is mostly for show, but the above mentioned LsiM-703 have it. (So does the Hivi 3.1...but that IS for show, only one pair of posts is connected to anything...one assumes it is because DIY speaker builders may want to mod the crossover).
- speaker efficiency is always measured as 1W/1M regardless of resistance rating.
- providing an overall frequency response with no +/- parameters seems to be the standard these days. Not a good thing, but not unusual.
- why do we think the drivers are proprietary? (I do not understand enough of the text to tell) - They look well built, the woofer's basket is not stamped, stamped baskets are another characteristic of white van speakers.
- The listing shows a 5.1 set of Accusound HD Series II speakers - those are (I think) original Accusound Australia models, so perhaps rather than just appropriating the name they are the original OEMs, or purchased the assets of rather than just stealing a logo.
- You can see in the photos that the cabinet internals are thick MDF or HDF - that explains some of the weight, another good thing.
- they look beautiful (to me)
The main reason I have never bought Alibaba or Tabao sourced speaker is that shipping costs to the U.S. on the well built ones are exceptionally high. Since nearly all mid range speakers in the U.S. are made in China...the cost difference must be individual air shipping vs palleted slow boat. I do not understand enough of the listing to see shipping costs, but I also do not know where the OP is based. I would certainly not ship a pair of PSB or Polk speakers back to China by air.
So, not enough information to tell, but if I lived where I could get them at $400 (pair or each?) delivered, I would consider them if I needed speakers.
