Cheap Speaker Parts

[chchatham]

Hi - I bought a pair of Dahlton speakers, which apparently are a total rip off except for the cabinetry. I thought someone here might find the parts useful. If you would, I'm selling them at

There are probably other elements of the speakers which are salvageable... So hopefully someone here will find this useful.

Nice of you to list them at $650. :T

Oh Lordy, I'm sorry you got ripped off. There are lots of offshore speakers with all kinds of "brand names" on them appearing in many sales channels in the U.S. They are totally designed for absolute lowest cost/maximum profit at retail. The cabinets, if solid and well-finished (couldn't tell from the photo), may be worth up to $200 for the pair, but I'm afraid you're in trouble. The only hope is that some strange things on eBay appeal to the bidding addict.

yeah, i kind of feel guilty even listing them on ebay, but we'll see. my hope is that someone with a little more know-how than me would be interested in the cabinets.

the $650 price is just for buy-it-now (that's what I paid, ouch!). i figured if there's somebody else out there as stupid as me, we ought to meet

but seriously, the reserve is only $50, so if there's any chance the cabinets/parts in the pair would be worth that much to anyone here then go for it.
