Can you help identify the make/model of the triangular speakers in the
recent BBC Arena documentary on George Martin?

Here are some screen grabs showing the speakers.

That was an example of product placement. These things appeared often,
and in various locations. They look like a typical dire set of PC
speakers. There is zero chance that they are any good.

Did not see the item and not much point anyway, but I'm sure you are aware
he is losing his hearing. Hardly the person to promote speakers, I'd have
thought.

Who said he was "promoting" speakers?

I didn't see the programme either, but from those pics it does look very
product placement.

If it was, it was product placement by the producers, not George Martin.
Though if someone had to use this NG to ask what they were, it clearly
wasn't very effective "product placement" was it?

I thought he had been deaf since 1962. :-)

I would have thought those speakers would be crap for £15 but they seem to
have some fans in the reviews:

http://www.testfreaks.co.uk/pc-speak...ansing-vs2620/

Sure they're not going to be anything like hifi but maybe these speakers
are the best of the bunch at that very low price.

Well, at less than a *tenner* delivered from Amazon it ain't going to cost
you a fortune to try them out. Let us know what you think of 'em, if you do.
