B&W 802d Misleading Information and Scammers

Hello,
I am relatively new to this forum. About two months ago I decided after hearing some 802d speakers that I would invest in a pair. I read up everyday on different forums on this site and others about peoples opinions on these speakers but mainly about how to run them. I was convinced after so much talk that my 802d would not run on my Marantz sl7300 (100wpc) receiver. Anyways after setting them up just to test I was surprised that they still sounded very good, granted that I do have to turn it right up to get some substance out of it.
I am going to upgrade the cable and put a power amplifier in but I thought if there was anyone else out there in a similar situation to me that this information would be some peace of mind.
The other thing that I found was that when trying to purchase these speakers that almost everybody on ebay selling them was a scammer and for some reason unknown to me paypal is not a preferred method to be paid, where is the guarantee that you will get your goods?? Has anybody else had run ins with who they think were scammers?

all over the web ther are scamms and scammers so what?
it's all much simplier than you think:

1. you've sold the item when you have cash in your hands
2. and you've boght the item when you have it in your hands

if above statements aren't true, you've been scammed.

can't use paypal or credit card? welcome for a local pickup for cash.
can't do even that or send personal check?
guess what? i can't sell my speakers.

can't accept check/paypal/credit card? no possibility for local pickup for cash?
guess what? i can't buy these speakers and don't realy care if it's scamm or not.

considering your personal taste to your existing combo which is i guess irrelevant to scamms of any kind i hope, you should be cautious not to damage your speakers with underpowered amplifier. you have an option to merry channels of your receiver to biamp your 802d's.
