Mod note.

I was alerted to this ad and just wanted to point out that while the seller may be honorable, the divinci brand is one that has been specifically identified (perhaps unbeknownst to the seller) as part of a scam.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_van_speakers

"Another recent technique is to parrot but not mimic, the names of reputable companies. For example, Genesis Media Labs is a white van scam name that trades on the American "Genesis" brand of loudspeakers [3][4], while DiVinci trades on the name of the Swiss "DaVinci" company. That company makes some truly incredible claims, as one reviewer wrote[2]:

"I visited recently with an old friend, a leading British audio writer, who upon seeing the eBay ads and the Divinci website first thought it was someone's idea of a joke -- his take in typical British understated fashion -- The claim that this logo was on half the speakers in Britain[5] is rubbish, the products are so poor that they do not even rise to that level (rubbish), and the purveyors are simply scoundrels."

From the same wikipedia article.

"As noted the DiVinci video connections are primitive - lack of HDMI or even component video outputs is inexcusable for a $ 389 receiver, much less one that claims to be worth thousands. As if the spoof reviews, awards, and fabricated engineering citations (they should be ticketed for selling the cheapest of Chinese junk) aren't enough, these shysters have the nerve to claim the unit is "HD compatible". This p.o.s. lacks the inputs and outputs necessary to get the advantages of HDTV - the only more absurd and outlandish claim I've seen is for the 'precision Lynxis crossover' in their speakers - which is wired precisely so the 4 driver '4 way' system in effect becomes a 2 way system - absolutely flabbergasting."


I have no experience with this brand but I would suggest proceed with caution. Because of the potential for fraud due to the brand identified, thread is closed. Feel free to PM the seller directly if you need further information.
