Anyone recognize this speaker?

Ad says they were $600 each originally but apparently no identification on them at all.

    Looks like "white van' garbage. You can get very respectable Polk, Mirage, Pinnacle, etc. for less than $200 if you are patient.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Another definitely White Van.

    Thanks, I hadn't planned on buying them, just wondered what they were. I have seen plenty of ads for WV speakers, but these didn't look as "polished" as most of them, therefore, in my mind, more legitimate, if that makes sense.

    Most of the cabinets on white van speakers look nicer in order to make them look more costly. At least that's what I have been seeing, for the most part.

    Oh, there are plenty of really cheezy ones too. That "black ash vinyl" :p is a classic.

    Not just white van but Cavelli is a Swedish brand; these are likely counterfeit. Just returned from 4 years in Germany and never saw the name. Went to the Munich high end audio show and a few shops around my area. Apparently, priced in the $2k and up range. It's always crazy expensive in the Scandinavian countries, so not sure if price = performance for the real deal. Google search found this...

    Antigone Rising opened for The Rolling Stones when I saw them aabout ten years ago, can't remember when maybe 2006 or 2008. Pretty energized group of women there. Good opening act. I picked up one of their CD's, pretty good also. Hadn't heard anything about them for awhile, good to know they are still active.
