      Yeah. Fit and finish don't seem to be up to even Chinese counterfeit standards.

        B&W actually licensed out their design to some knock-off company?

            The title of this thread does say "under license". : Do they ever even bother to sue those knock-off companies? I'd rather get a real B&W of a lower lineup than a knock-off of the 800's, lol. Wonder how their sound performance actually is? I can't imagine it performing anything like a real B&W?

                I dont expect they sound as good.
                In China everthing is copied.
                I once bought there an "ipod", and an "iphone" and a "memory stick of 500 GB".
                After one week ... you throw them away. Rubbish.
                These speakers will last longer, but are not suited for us. With our spoiled high end taste and high budgets to spend.

                  Bose "cubes" may be able to sound as big as these :-)

                    What you do you mean... they aren't real B&W? I always wondered what that red thingy was. The guy told me it was a B&W super special edition. That explains why my receiver also has the RO*TEL Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies logo on it. :lol:

                      Rotel Pics from a dutch Audio Fair
                      by Scarp
                      Today there was a dutch fair for audio equipment and here are some pictures of the dutch B&W/Rotel stand.

                      Btw, good news for dutch owners of a Rotel 1066. I got confirmation from B&W Netherlands that you can officially do the resistor cut modification (or take the unit back to...

                      Just a little fun sub for the bedroom
                      by b_force
                      I have enough projects to build. One of these is to make a little surround system in the bedroom.
                      Just simple and not to expensive (advanced and expensive is for the living room 8) )

                      The plan is to make surrounds with the B3S in a MTM setup (with a Dayton tweeter) and make a little...

                      Guilty pleasures or just plain FUN DVDs?
                      by Kevin P
                      After going through the "favorite" or "best" movies thread, I thought I'd start this one to list movies that probably aren't destined to be classics but are fun DVDs that you just have to watch again and again!

                      Here's my nominations:

                      by KennyG
                      I have finally hit the wall, tonight I fired up the projector with the idea of working on a geometry problem I very had since day one.
                      The only thing I ended up doing was day dreaming for an hour.
                      As I gazed at the screen I suddenly realized that I may have made one of the worst purchases...

                      Time for a fun movie quiz!
                      by Chris D
                      Kevin Patz has helped me upload a Microsoft Excel file that's a fun movie quiz. There are 60 different movie scenes, and all you have to do is type in the correct name of the movie to get each one right.
