Cash converters refusing refund

Take them to another cash converters and see how much they will give you for them

I didn't know you could buy brand new stuff in a cash converters anyway, I thought it was all stuff people had pawned.

£90 for a pair of speakers....that sounds far too cheap for speakers....

what make?
what size (8", 10", 12" or 15") (80 watts, 100 watts, 250 watts)
what was used to power them, mixer amp, seperate desk and power amp? (and the power output)
what type of mic? What price of mic?

to be honest, if he is "semi pro" singing in lounges and hotels, I would imagine the cheapest speakers (of reasonable quality) he might expect to get away with would be a set of Peavey PR10s at about £250 (so you see where I'm coming from on this) to add to that, my mic (a Shure Beta 58) cost more than them.

It could be his setup was wrong, his distortion may have been introduced at the amplification stage, in that case the speakers are ok, either way the store probably should have the right to test them before agreeing they are faulty....

and if they are only rated at 75 watts each and are driven incorrectly or with the wrong size amp....you're on a loser.

I would say again, if he values his show at a £90 pair of speakers, he cant be that good at what he does, the last pair I purchased were Electrovoice and secondhand I paid nearly £600 for them....

If you drive any pair of speakers too hard, they will distort.
So perhaps they were not powerful enough for the amplification.
If the items were faulty, then you are entitled to a refund, but if you simply bough the wrong item then it's up to the goodwill of the store whether they take them back.

I've no idea about the spec of the speakers as it's irrelavent really. My original question was about whether they had a right to a refund under the SOGA due to the sales assistant telling him they would be suitable for what he wanted to use them for when they clearly aren't.
