I just looked into those Olin Ross speakers http://www.olinross.com/ , and I'm sorry to say that do indeed look to be what is know on these boards as "White Van" speakers. These are mass-produced speakers marketed under various names, that often look a lot better than they are built, and worse, sound.
These sort of speakers were sometimes sold out of a "White Van" by less than trustworthy characters, many of who have now moved their operations to the internet. |

That's what we are trying to tell you politely...it's too late on the a s s part. Don't spend much on cable...you'll know when you hook them up if they work. |

MSRP: $ 3,100.00 ... I hope you didn't pay near that much Tim.
Don't spend a lot of cables. In fact, go to Home Depot and buy some 16 awg cable. |

If you must get something other than 16-18g rip cord, just look up Bluejeans cables. |

haha nah I payed like 150. at least they look nice I guess. Thank you for the information regarding the type of wiring I should use though thats what I was looking for because I don't think anyone would buy them on Ebay or anything. |

for 150, they might sound ok.
I have heard worse.
Tim, you might not be so bad off as it seems here, wire them up and have a go. |
