Right now I'm trying to convince them to replace the speakers with the current model, which is apparently uneconomical to fake. They have not got back to me yet.

I suspect that they knew or at least suspected they were fake but did their best to ignore their suspicions. They have offered a full refund, but that is not really sufficient in my opinion, especially since I had arranged for the work to be started next week (not to mention the half hour I spent on the phone to Italy last night).

I've decided one way or another to go with real HSK 165s - there are current model units going for $175 per pair from Singapore or Malaysia - the real speakers.
