Has anyone ever purchased any of the Divinci Surround Sound packages off ebay or gotten them from anywhere else. Im curious of the quality because i know the MSRP cannot be a adaquate image of quality when they sell for much cheaper.

I would advice to purchase a system you can test, just because one sounds good doesn't mean the next will sound just as great. If you are looking for a system to watch movies I would not buy a package, I would custom for what you like. Get a amp that you prefer and has the sounds you like, speakers the same thing. If you are looking for just a cheap system to quick set up and watch movies then by all means get a package but if you want a true movie experience go with buying individual components.

Robert is right. Divinci is a "white van" speaker scam. The people involved in this scam are the scum of the audio world. There are many different brand names involved in this scam but they all share several common elements:
1) They are never sold in a venue in which you can listen to them first.
2) They are always sold in some context that leads you to believe you are getting a once in a lifetime deal.
3) The brand has an elaborate website that looks impressive.
4) The speakers are VERY cheaply made and then GREATLY overpriced. They are then offered somewhere at a "reduced" price that is still about ten times more than the speakers are worth.
5) You can not get a refund.
If you do a search for "white van speakers" or "white van speaker scam" you will find quite a few articles on this (including a pretty good one at Wikipedia). Divinci (there is a legitimate DaVinci [note the spelling difference] brand of outdoor speakers) is one of the most notorious of these scam brands flooding the market at the moment.
