In fox valley mall parking lot, illinois, Naperville/ Aurora. These fukers scammed my friend, it was 4 of us and these guys had a green explorer with temp plates. They tried to sell it to us for 400$ and we got them to go down to 140 in cash and a 100$ Best Buy gift card. If we see these fukers again they will die and it will be on like donkey kong. This guy looked kinda like a Hippy with a Skull cap that was either brown or dark green. He had a brown winter jacket on and he ssmelled like cigarettes. He had a guy in the car with him that looked like a flame. He kept talking about drinking beer. He had a goatee beard. The flame guy had a Digital Research jacket on that was blue. Even if thesae wieners keep gettin away with this, they will eventually burn in hell. If u see them beat some a$$ for all of us! |

Got scammed today in Phoenix AZ, in a Fry's Parking Lot. The guys showed me the magazine and spit some junk about the warehouse giving them two too many, and they needed to get rid of some because their boss wasn't going to pay to ship them back, and they wouldn't fit in the car, or some BS like that. Out 200 bucks. |

What i swrong with you people---do any of you know anything about speakers or even herard a decent set of them??? I bought these off ebay (da 5.1 pro series 2) for $180 and they sound better then high end speakers. If you get them (the DA5.1 series) for less them $500 you ARE GETTING A DEAL. They reach higher frequencies and the bass is so much more powerful then other systems that you pay 3 times as much for. I have owned many speaker systems and this is the best i have ever owned.. They even (hands down) beat the JVC TH-M55--listed price $550. Don't just take my word for it....just compaire the speakers to tother systems and you WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. Granted--i got the da5.1 series 2 (which may have been a good model) and i have not owned any other model. but the da5.1 is not a rip off

wow, wish i would have seen this forum sooner!! i got scammed at a gas station in clearwater, FL by a guy in a white van, same story as most of you. however i only paid $140 bucks for the Digital Research dr-1000 5.1 surround, which im NOT striking it up as a loss!! i think they sound fine, they arent a bose or polk but for $140 i dont feel so bad. any more than that and i would be pissed. i told my friends that if they saw one of these guys to offer them $50 and see if they'll take it, i think it would be a good deal for $50 if you just wanted a surround system. they are real speakers and sound pretty good so im content with my purchase, however i will NEVER buy anything out of the back of a van ever again!!

i was walking to my car in chasewood plaza (in jupiter, florida) and 2 guys in a black SUV stop by me and say hey do you need some speakers. i automatically thought they meant car speakers, so i was like "no im good" then i thought they just meant for free. so i was like, "hey, for free?" so they drive around and he gives me this whole story about how he works for this company that installs speakers and he got excess inventory. he went into a story before about excess inventory on plasma screens and such and how he turned them in and only got $100 from his boss. so now he wants to keep these but he needs money for storage so he wanted to know if i wanted to buy a pair. i kept saying no, not really, i dont need them unless theyre free. they kept asking how much i could do. i was like i really dont have a lot of money and i dont want to lowball you guys or anything. (little did i know they were screwing me over) he shows me this magazine that looks legit with the speakers in them that has them listed for $2000. i say that im a college student and i dont have a lot of money. they keep asking me and finally i say, like $100. so somehow they say to eachother, $100 for each of us that aint bad. i dunno, they had their ways of confusing the hell out of me. i also thought i was getting 2 systems instead of the 1. so i called my dad and he was skeptical too. he shouldve told me to tell the guys to go screw themselves but he didnt. he said it was my money if i lose anything off of it. he says that theyre located in kendall, miami and that theyve installed stuff for celine dion before. i was like "oh really? cool. my girlfriend lives in kendall" im a retard for thinking it was legit cause he threw out a place i knew about. i threw down $300 for these things. and since i was in such a rush i left my atm card in the atm. (because they were in a rush; he even said he had gotten a call from his boss when i came back from the atm). i put the speakers in my car, they drove off, i drove off. i realized i left my atm card and hauled back to the bank. the card was gone and the bank didnt have it either. luckily i cancelled the card before any more damage was done. and now i just figured out all this is a scam. boy am i an idiot. guess ill try and sell it on ebay. anyone know if its illegal to sell them on ebay? or if its just a crappy brand. |

Long Island here. Fell for it too. Digital Research DR-1000 Platinum Series. I haven't hooked up the center and rears yet. The one real problem i have is the power. There is very little of it. The box says 800w. 300wSub amp. All horse crap. In the booklet inside the box is where you get the actual power. 40w sub + 12w for the satellites. I paid $179 for it, which was everything I had in my wallet. Ha Ha. I don't feel too dopey. I mean, it's an acceptable 5.1 system for the basement or a bedroom. Oh, I almost forgot. The remote it comes with is very cheap and if you lose it or it breaks, you are screwed. You can't control the bass and treble without the remote. you also can't switch the inputs. Where are you going to get another remote? From their website? Screwed again. Oh, back to the power. Crank it as much as it will go. Itsounds fairly crisp, but the sound level is not over the top, and that's cranked. I guess I got ripped off, but it could've been worse. Even so, if I do ever see these guys again, my arms will be swingin' and my fists will make them regret they met me. |

Toledo, OH (Spring Meadows Shopping Center)... Day after this past Thanksgiving. I'm doing Christmas shopping, fighting traffic & snow. They pull up next to me and get me to roll my window down. "Want some speakers?"
I say "sure" and they tell me to follow them to a nearby parking lot. On the way to the parking lot I have bells & sirens going off in the back of my head, telling me to drive off in the opposite direction. But I figured, What the Hell.
Two young guys in a White Expedition. Claim to work for a custom installer in Detroit. They both sing some radio jingle, which I don't know, because I only listen to CDs. They show me the magazine. They show me the DR-1000's. Sweet. "How much cash can you spare?"
"What do you want," I ask. He says that the dock manager loaded more systems into their truck than they had to deliver, but they were "signed for." They just wanted quick cash.
They knew I was skeptical, so they started at $350, then $300... Then I told them no, no, no. I am ~somewhat~ knowledgeable about HiFi and just didn't feel good about it. Finally the 2nd guy gets out, pulls one of the sets from his truck and puts it in front of my truck. He only wants $200 now. Gives me his name. "Chuck." Chuck writes his cell phone number on the back of a card. 931-217-3285. "You can call it right now if you want." Tells me he's from Nashville and just started working at the Detroit store. "Call me later and you can buy me a beer." At this point I figure "what the hell" and we go to the ATM. But he is NOT getting any beer from me.
The whole time, I was telling myself that I would hock them on eBay. I've already got some very nice PSB's which I'm very happy with. I was also telling myself that they probably aren't worth $200, but life isn't fun without some risk, eh?
This is why I don't try to win my airfare or hotel costs back in Vegas. I'm a perfectly mediocre gambler, and ended up short this time... but how much?
I called Chuck that night because I wanted to get my money back, and he told me he was really busy and could arrange to meet me the following afternoon. When I called during the next 2 days, the cellular service provider gave me a recorded message saying that "the person you are trying to call is not available," so Chuck obviously doesn't have voice mail. Oh well...
6 weeks after I bought the DR-1000, I've just been too busy to move them. I decided to do a little research, and found this forum. It's a bit theraputic to write ad nauseum to a forum.
I didn't need the speakers, and was looking to make a quick buck just like these guys were. I'm really only pissed at the "story." There's nothing wrong with using pressure sales tactics, nothing wrong with selling something out of the back of a van. I just wish these guys would have been a little more truthful. However, I gambled, and lost. I've definitely blown money on stupider things (but jiggling b00bs and roulette provide temporary fun), and the $200 gone may be partially recoverable through eBay or the Pawn Shop. Either way, I ignored my better judgement...
Fool me once, shame on me...
Fool me twice? Not after this.
I'll pay $200 for this lesson. |

my friend and i got waved over leaving fox valley mall. black explorer, actual plates. same guys as described above for naperville. i tell him no, but the idea of making some money gets him going, so he kills his bank accounts and gives them $200. they open the box to show us the stuff and one of the speakers is busted, so they give us the other box. he puts me in charge of fixing up an ebay sale, and when i do research to see what he might get, i get you guys. meanwhile, i still have $600 in the bank and their plate number. hope he likes those speakers for 200. the cops should like the guys. later. |

Yup. Same ole sh*t here too. Just got had yesterday...Naperville, IL (Chicago)....on my way into Fox & The Hound right next to Best Buy. 2 guys in a marron beat up van. Had several Digital Research DA 5.1 ProSeries III systems and 1 other one. List price on the box is $1,999. I knew better, but didn't listen to myself. Only out $220. I'm not so p*ssed about paying $220 for speakers that I knew all along are not worth $1,999. I think what I'm most upset about is dude told me it included a received and it DOESN'T!
Bottom line for anyone that's reading these postings? Understand you're paying for speakers that are not worth $1,999 (you're getting what you're paying for) and make the dude open the box and show you the receiver if he's telling you so.
Good luck.
I like the reverse sting "buying club" idea to scam the scammers. |

Same sh*t here but i got the guys licens number, cell number and address. Im just going to find the fu*ker and have myself a little fun.I was going to the Mall when i was stoped by some guy with their shockz4 subs and shockz12 subs. So i bought them thinking i was getting a deal. well we will see who gets who at the end . He still calls me thinking i want to buy more so im ganna tell him to get me a couple and jump the fu*ker take his money and his sh*t. The 10" sound good but not worth $1,500. the 12" are ok but not worth the $300 i paid. i gues i paid a ok price for the 10" because they sound good with my amp. but i still am going to get this fu*ker...
And how you know the web page is a scam no bissnes uses a yahoo acount for a contact email address.. also when you print on of their pages look at the top of the print out all the links are fu*ked up...
But hey every one here must admit that they are good because I live in Washington state and they have scamed all around the contry.
If any one want to contact me about the information i have on them just e-mail me at xphynix@yahoo.com |

Hillarious, reading all you guys defending your purchasing decision, These are cheapo Chinese import speakers.
Here in Thailand they retail in the shops for around 20-50 US$ a set.
Its funny how all these people who get scammed, end their posts with "actually they sound pretty good", When we all know they sound like cheap crap. Go spend your money on a proper system by a real manufacturer and you will be throwing your Scam speakers out in no time at all.

got scammed in montreal for 200.00 and a carton of smokes...money was no big thing it was the after affects of how did this happen to me? Same drill as everyone else but i managed to get all the info 0n them. Best part of it was i got all their phone numbers off the web and have been pranking them for a month straight. Today a month later I bumped into to the scammer " french guy who speaks very good english and is most likely italian( he was wearing an italia hat but looks very italian) in loblaws in the west island with his "girlfreind" he saw me and would not come down any of the aisles where i was...we were looking out for each other. Thing is it was payback time...i now his liscense plate number and know where he lives or his girlfriend does as I folowed him out of the parking lot. So the gameplan is get 5 of my boys together all way bigger and crazier than myself and knock on his door in the very near future...and guess who will be going to the atm machine this time! The look on his face will be histarical...Payback is a bit**...oh ya you owe me interest fool ...This time you really messed with the wrong guy. If you are in the montreal area and want to have fun give these guys a shout. They are really used to it by now:Jack unger and norman slater are my personal favorites!

Speaker Guy #1001 Unregistered guest |
| Posted on Monday, January 17, 2005 - 03:27 pm: |

Does anyone realize that there are well in excess of 1000 speaker guys, working a semi-legit job, just trying to earn a living. The sales pitch is not honest but either is the shoe saleman who tells you he has 1 pair left in your size. We don't even need to mention the used car salesman. How about the bottled water companies. $1+ for a 20 oz. bottled water, or 89 cents for a gallon of the same brand. Gasoline? WOW imagine that. We're being scammed ever where we turn. OR MAYBE SALES PEOPLE HAVE REALIZED AND Come To Terms With : It's amazing how many people will buy if they think they're buying something stolen. YOU DIDN'T MIND that some business owner or insurance company was going to lose a few thousand $dollars$. But oh how Holy You Become when you found out you didn't get to take advantage as much as you thought. Whats the proverb? "Thou Shalt Not Judge Lest Ye Be Judged". It's a simple fact : The salesman is no more greedy than the guy shaking "as he's handing me the money". All is fair. If you have half a brain you know you're gambling : there might be a brick in the box...the salesman might be an under cover cop...Etc. When you think of all the things that might have gone wrong, You got lucky. You plugged them in and they actually work. And they sound better than Jensen or Sony Home Speakers. I've unplugged people's Cerwin Vegas and Altecs....and they handed me the money after they heard the These. Life Goes On. Live and Learn, and GET OVER IT. You learned a cheap lesson and didn't fair out so badly. Peace |

I bought these for $100 on ebay +$26 for shipping. For $100,I got a deal as far as I'm concerned. If I was to have a bunch of these to sell, I would try to get about $200 for them. I have a pair of Sansui SP1200's and they are starting to show (sound) their age. And what I just bought will do just fine until I can afford a better speaker system. I wonder how much better these little speakers would sound in a wood enclosure? To all those that got ripped off, I would suggest trying to sell them on Ebay. Be honest and upfront and you should have no problem getting at least two bills for them. |

Mesa, Arizona: I ran into people like this twice in 4 weeks! Funny thing is, they worked for two different companies, so look out; there's competition in this business already! It was the Magazines and the t-shirts that sold me. It just looked so legitimate! With the second guy I ran into, I was a complete IDIOT to not stop and realize that these guys were scam artists. (He's probably laughing at me now.) Being the stupid, trusting, gullable loser that I am, I gave in to the friendly "help a guy out" show that he put on, and bought ANOTHER set of different speakers, thinking I could sell them for some good money. That's when I found this forum. Both times I asked for their personal information, and they gave it to me freely. I thought that would be a good enough safe guard against fraud, but come to find out they LIED about that, too. Some lady picks up the phone: "Sorry, no Aaron lives here." Jerks. He even TOLD me that if I wasn't satisfied, I could call him ANY TIME, and he would buy them back from me for the same price. What does that tell you about the way they do business?! I haven't plugged them in yet, so I can't make any judgements just now if I regret spending the money or not. Anyone who has posted the idea that these guys have done nothing wrong doesn't know what they're talking about. Giving out fraudulent information, especially for profit, is a crime, no matter how you look at it. I am seriously planning on calling up some of the local radio stations to send out a warning all over the Phoenix valley. Perhaps people in other cities can do the same. Maybe if we get enough people to know about this, we can shut them down. |

I HOOKED UP THE SPEAKERS to my Aiwa surround system... THEY... SUCK!!!! Hardcore!!! I turned up the volume of my receiver full blast, and they didn't make any kind of impressive display at all! Now, the description says they're 10-400 watts, 92 dB... that is a blatant LIE!!! My $100 Altec Lansing 2.1 system for my PC sounds 10 times better than these P.O.S. "Digital Research DR-2810" towers! Dead serious. I got SCREWED!!!! I am ashamed to mention the price I paid for these things. No use trying to sell them online, either; people are starting to get word now. Good! Maybe that means somebody will shut them down soon!! F4GS!! |

I got approached on my college campus in Tampa Florida from 2 dudes in a black Jeep telling me they had an extra Home theater system and that they had to meet they're boss. They told me theyr'e worth $2000, but I got him down to $140. After I found this forum I realized I have mixed messages about the quality of them. I have listed to sell them on Ebay for the same price I paid. I just don't want to buy a reciever to try them out with. If anyone is intrested write respond. |

Montreal(west Island) is where I got hit. 3 young guys in a maroon minivan(pontiac transport,I think) Paid 2 bils. They wanted weed-had none. I'm a fool!!They were hilarious, saying if you see us at the bar that I owed them some beers! I got something for you if I see you- it ain't beer, but I got a box that I'm gonna fit up your a**. It was the dr-1000 platinum |

WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEST PRODUCTS TR-0212 (Dam good for supposed junk)
Have been reading about these all over the net and just wanted to voice my oppinion.........
I came across your posts on the internet. I thought I would let you know my experience with these speakers. I purchased 2 sets of the TR-0212 digital loud speakers because I had never herd of Theater Research before and wanted to try them out. I paid $290 for a set of 2 off the internet a total of around $650 with shipping. In my opinion they sound great for the money. My setup consists of a Harman/Kardon AVR125 (paine in the a#! gitting it to work with xlr cables), Furman PL-Plus DM power conditioner, Furman AR-1215 voltage regulator, Behringer Ultragraph Pro FBQ 3102, Virtulizer Pro DSP 2024D, Ultrabass Pro EX 1200, Ashly CLX-52 Dual channel compressor/limiter, 2 crown XLS 602 running at 370w per channel at 8-ohm and 2 crown XLS 202 bridged into 500w @ 4-ohm to run both polk subs. That’s a total of 1480 watts running the loudspeakers and crown doesn’t make crap. I have had this setup for about a year now and have had no problems with the speakers. They take every bit I put at them. Am able to take the volume up to about 90%-93% before the amps start clipping with no distortion from the speakers. I took the boxes apart to inspect them when I got them. The boxes aren’t made to bad did a little modification to them. Components look average, haven’t been able to test each component yet, when I take them apart to rewire the boxes I am going to run each on a bench setup we have to test audio equipment. Just figured that I would put my experience. For the money I paid they were definitely respectable. Able to take the punnishment of listining to techno all the time and still going. No problems. If you have any questions let me know. My name is Shawn, email extremetoyzz@aol.com and no I am not a sales person for these products, I own an automotive customizing business and a repair facility right next door. Extreme Toyzz LTD. And 5 Star Auto Care. Phone 440-974-0704

These speakers litter Ebay. Some selling as real sellers, other selling to get rid of the 'scam' items.

or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14993%26item%3D5746427362
I'd like to do a side-by-side comparison to hear these things. They actually might be worth the $200, but I am not willing to find out, nor do I like the 1980's styling. I don't like the idea of the 'lie' behind them either.
So, I bought a cheap Yamaha 6.1 speaker system for under $200 from BestBuy and am VERY happy. |

Well for all you people bytchin about getting ripped off you bought the speakers cuz you thought you we getting them for a deal beacuse he said they were worth 1999.00 and you got them for 300.00 so you know that you were trying to get a leg up so i say to you ha your just as guilty as the salers for trying to get something that you know was and over site and a good deal so stop all the bytching cuz you were buying them at far less then they were listed and if lets say i bought a car for 500.00 and sold it for 1000.00 that makes me a thief or a scammer b.s get real....wake up its business and you bought them so whats can you say for yourself how about ((DUMBASS)) thanks.....a speakerman van salesman PeaceOut |
