They're touting that people should buy them but they're not offering a review or specs?

Is it me or has Audioholics gotten "weird" since they started offering products for sale?

Sad to say I have to agree with you. They use to back up their speaker reviews better (granted this is I think just a “first impression“).

There was just a small dustup between one of there mods and Craig over at the TCA forum about the issue of their selling products.

Those speakers do look interesting but the manufactures website has no graphs or anything to indicate how they perform. I can post any MSRP I want and put a slash through it with a 40% markdown. The same thing was the norm over at AV123. When I see something like that I just remind myself they are speakers and not jewelry.

OTOH, if you are sure you’ve got a killer product and want to get a buzz going this should work.

Before I bought my Ax's, I was looking at another line of speakers(designed in Canada/made offshore). There were only a small handfull of write-ups on these particular speakers, as they were fairly new to the market, although their parent company has been around for decades. Anyway, the "list price" on the towers were around $1200pr CN, most dealers were selling them for anywhere from $699 to $899...one store was willing to sell me a pair for $400. Talk about fluctuating prices! Obviously, anytime a deal looks "too good", you need to exercise a lot of caution when considering a purchase. It doesn't mean that it's not a good product necessarily, because new companies especially are out there to establish themselves and may offer better deals initially.

I've seen this, even with established companies who are expanding their product line into other areas, they'll offer amazing deals initially to get people interested esp. if there is some very established competition in that area. It's always better to let someone else be the guinea pig though, if there are no decent reviews on the product in question.

This is killing me, I have one M22 and my PB12. If the other one doesn't come before the end of the day it going to be a rough weekend. Just hoping another truck is coming today.

They were both most likely on the truck but the driver couldn't find it right away. He simply delivered what he could find to make some working space in the truck. Hope he shows up again with the second M22.

it's strange the SVS was shipped with UPS and the M22's with Purolator, the guy that showed didn't seem like he was either but he had both packages.

He was most likely an owner/operator and Purolator carries UPS to areas they do not service regularly in Canada.

Just means he's got to make another trip now, bad planning on the courier's part.
