Did a bit of research, here is my take:
Supposedly, their address is in Trafalger Mews. Supposedly, that's where a Vinegar factory used to be that was transformed into a mixed use environment. So you've got some shops, companies and some apartments.
Here is what the street looks like:
In essence, the street is not exactly reflective of the fancy store front that is pictured on their Web site.
Smells like a scam to me, especially when the checks are to be made out to OFELIA BORNEA TATIANA and not the name of the company.
Don't do it. -

Thanks for the heads-up... now anyone who might be researching those guys will find this thread (in a google search) and will be forewarned.Comment

I sent them an email to ask about the 801D listed, and whether this price is for one or a pair of speakers. I'll let you know when they reply.Comment
