Once again - deleted last time for "attacking without proof"
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26496817...d=link&campid=5338728743&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
and some proof to go with it - apart from it being a blatant ripoff of the Acoustic Energy Reference 3
1) multiple gumtree/picclick search results over time for this model of speaker, "only taken out of the box for pictures/testing" - usually for £300 each time. https://picclick.co.uk/AER-Reference-Series-3-Speakers-Pair-201658656109.html this ad is pretty nasty, as it claims they come with the Acoustic Energy stands...
2) hifi wigwam thread from 2016 - https://www.hifiwigwam.com/forum/to...stic-energy-reference-series-3-loud-speakers/
3) https://www.avforums.com/threads/fake-aer-speakers.2211560/
4) A listing on marketplace for the same items - https://www.facebook.com/marketplac..."upsell_type\":null,\"grouping_info\":null}"}
5) They are most certainly not the Acoustic Energy speakers they are trying to "emulate" - nor are they made by AER loudspeakers of Germany (this would have taken me less time to write up, but THEIR products are, frankly, gorgeous and derailed my searching significantly).
6) a box shot of some these items - I don't know about you, but I expect to see some manufacturer's details on the packaging. https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.c...8d73-0ecb-41da-a222-d44b261adb3d/original.jpg
7) A summary. There is no official AER website for the manufacturer of these speakers, they're frequently sold by white van-type scammers, they're a ripoff of the Acoustic Energy Reference 3. When I say white van, I MEAN white van. They make a point of stressing in most ads that the box says "AE Reference Series-3"
I don't "attack peoples products" without reason - I do draw people's attentions to scams.
