I was cruising c/l and in central jersey I came across these Dalhton Speakers for sale at $100 .I did not ever hear of this brand and did a Bing/Google search and pretty much say the same thing. They are very cheaply made speakers and probably or possibly the seller got scammed.You guys would know better about something like this and are they really garbage or is there a legitemate company out there?

    That list is a crock! I love Volk Audio speakers, they're the best! I have some blasting away in my Volkswagon Schwimmwagen; they are a natural match if you ask me.

    Fun game if you're bored. E-mail these clowns on craigslist (the legitimate scammers), and ask them to meet you in a sketchy part of town at night to make the sale.

    I will say this about them.....I bought a pair of the towers once for like $10.oo from a yard sale/flea market kinda thing. While the drivers leave a LOT to be desired. For the DIY'er teh cabinets are pretty decent! Pretty damn good construction! The below pics house eD 12" woofers, Alesis mid and Peerless tweets with CV XO's. They sound damn good!
