Yeah, I got stopped a few times in the 90s on my lunch break around Borough and Elephant.

Yeah I bought some. Can't remember what they were called.
They pulled up as I was walking out of my house and asked if I wanted to buy some speakers. They were extra one ordered by mistake. I could have them for £100. They gave me the number of their office to call to check the price. When I did the sales girl said they were >£300 (I think). I had to get a lift to the cash point.
When I played them they weren't as good as my Eltax, but they weren't the worst things on earth. I remember being surprised as they were more wpc and had more speaker cones. I ran them plus my eltax. On reflection 4 floor standing speakers was probably overkill for my uni bedrooms.
Thinking about it now maybe I misremembered how much I paid, as even if they were complete junk surely there's a limit as to how cheap you could make them? I mean there is still a fair bit of wood. Doesn't seem like much margin.

Bit random, but did anyone ever have the experience of blokes in a van trying to sell them fake speakers?
I guess that graft is pretty much dead now, but it happened to me twice when I was a teenager 25 years ago.
