Specs mean nothing - try listening to them yourself. How much do they cost?

I'll be honest with you - I have never heard of Power Acoustik. :Q

 

[slackerinabox]

They're available on ebay for $60.. Yeah, never heard of them myself!

 

[Ryan]

My suggestion, stick with bigger names, and make sure you read as many reviews as possible if you cna't listen to them before buying.

 

[slackerinabox]

Anyone hear of these? I notice that they're all over ebay - maybe someone picked it up and gave it a try? They're insanely cheap for a set with silk tweeters.. SO very tempting!

 

[minendo]

Closest set I could find.

pick em up with the 1500watt subs from bestbuy for 50 bucks and you'll have a great system haha

If you've never heard of the brand, don't buy it. Insanely cheap usually means insanely crappy

Well, I just figured that it's sometimes hard to tell with speakers.. I remember getting a $50 center channel speaker from radioshack that rivaled my other $600 set.. Well, I'll save my pennies for the Infinity 605cs.. Seems like a decent set..

What happened with that Kenwood component set? (iirc that was you)

i think infiniti's can be had for very cheap at etronics.com! also try ikesound.com

sometimes radioshack carry their in-house product that are made by other manufacturers. for example they sold rebadged koss headphones that were of very good quality. also, in the past their Optimus AV Receivers were produced by Pioneer.

Hey,
I paid the seller the auction fees and move on.. Realized that I should have gotten 6.5 components and not 5 1/4s..
