So tell me ... how DO you identify originals with fakes ??? You are b*********g my friend ... even though you say you are not.
I guess THIS picture can show you that these arent fakes. And HQ-718s DO NOT have blue cone. Taken from Bassbin UK, one of the top online stores in the UK.

And ... made in China or made in Indonesia DOESNT make them original or fake. Chinese stuff has different grades. Buy Made In China speakers meant for Europe or Dubai, you will be amazed. Ive got TS-6975 Made in China but these are European grade stuff (got it checked, packing in europe plus content is DITTO same). Anyone bragging about 715's etc goes "What the **** ???" when they see these bang. You should see their faces when they see MADE IN CHINA speakers only.
Its all a HYPE ... if its MADE IN CHINA dont buy ... jeeez! Half of your nations Air Force is MADE IN CHINA! Getting the fake pirated chinese stuff is a different story, im sure anyone with half a brain can spell Pioneer and Kenwood and not mistake them for Pianeer etc. Another Made in China that would amaze you ... my Ipod ... bought from Dubai!
Hell ... I bought Made in China ALTEC LANSING's 8 years AGO! Original stuff ... bangs like anything! Still hasnt wore out at ALL!
