BSS dont make loudspeakers, only crossovers. Just search for BSS M250 and you get far more results.

Ah the old BSS scam, i thought that might have died off with the internet, but obviously not. Years ago there used to be an almost constant ad in London Loot advertising paper, stating how these "professional studio" monitors were woth anything from £1,500 to £3,000, and here was an unmissable opportunity to acquire a pair for just £150 or whatever it was. Many many people got sucked in. And to be fair, they don't sound disastrous. But no, they're not worth £800 each or anything like.


ps they are = they're
