Similar thing happend to me, i work in a gymnasium and went out for a soda nd here comes this guy in an audio shirt and white van asking if i needed new home speakers. Being that I DO need home speakers and sence it was early morning and im not a morning person i didnt really think anything about it. I bought em, my co-worker was laughing at me. My speakers are the T2450 series and I got 2 pairs for 280. I thought they would be crap after reading these threads but i hooked mine to my comp and am rocking the crap out of the neighborhood. It was either a really good deal or these guys were newbies . Dunno, i have the other set hooked up to my tv, not as kick ass the the ones on the puter but good none the less. :D
