Default unknown speakers, worth a gamble?

Anyone heard of them, sounds made up name to me.


If you want something not too big but with a clean easy style, have a
look around for a pair of Wharfedale Dentons. There's a pair on fleaby
for £45. I have a pair on top of the cupboard about 5ft away from me
as I type, and of all of the speakers that I have - and I have a
few(!) - they would probably be the lasr small ones I would part with.
Main drive unit is 8inch so they will shift air with relatively little
power.

Also look at Wharfedale Diamonds or 30.2's, Tannoy M1, or any small
Mission or KEF. There's plenty around and you should be able to get a
pair for less than £50.
