Found these on eBay, what are they?

[Samsonite]

Hi, new here but I have a question and wondered if savvypaul, or anyone else could help?

One Friday evening after work and I remembered my trip to the North West Audio Show in June and how much I liked the Cube 3 speakers. So as you do, I asked goggle and an eBay listing came up for:

NVA - Cube 3 - £250 delivered
Sealed box bookshelf speakers. No branding as these are possibly pre-production examples. Light wood cabinets in plywood, with original black grills.

So after a beer and at that price, I thought it would be daft not to take give them a try. I'm more than happy with the sound, so easy to listen to and I like how they look in my living room. But I wonder exactly what are they, are they prototypes? They are 30cm square, so bigger than both production Cube 2 and 3s, was a larger size considered and ultimately rejected? Any history or back story on them would be much apricated.

Cheers

Sam

What speaker cable are those? They look mighty thick!

I had to look it up in my emails, they are Van Damme 6mm.

Shame to hear the speakers are a knock off. I'll have to think about getting the real things some time soon.

On a slightly different note, what were the feet that the Cubes sat on during the North West Audio Show?
