Any "Vintage" dealer who uses a reissue Jensen in a "restoration" is suspect, considering Jensen isn't the same Jensen of the 50's (it's an Italian company) and the speakers don't even have the same specs as their namesakes - I got a pair of P10Q's that were so heavily doped you could have glued together a coffee table with it! The bought the company name, the speaker names - but the resulting products are simply something completely different.
Agreed.

This seller just reeks of "shady" to me. Of course, YMMV...
