Nothing most people on here don't already know, but I thought the list of WV "companies" at the end was interesting.

  • I bought a Rolax watch once from a white van.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    People up here do the same scam out the trunk of their cars too. At the gas station by my house a guy bought some Klipsch towers out of someone’s trunk. Only to get home and finds bricks and foam filled boxes. Got soaked for $800 cash. Stupid is as stupid does. Peace. D

    I bought a pair of MartinHogan speakers, a Panasound power amp, a vintage Scamsui receiver, an Oddo player, and some MTI speaker wires for less than $3000. Those suckers in the white van didn't even know what they had!
