Hello Von Schweikert speaker owners,
If you have an existing Warranty from an Authorized dealer, the warranty IS transferable to the second owner.
The situation we have described on our new "popup" warning on our website refers to the "clones" of our VR-1, VR-2, VR-4 JR, LCR-1, TS-150, and VR-S/1 subwoofer. These models were made in China and have been discontinued two years ago due to the change of ownership of the Chinese factory. Clones by other Chinese factories are resurfacing on Ebay and Audiogon as "factory sealed Von Schweikerts" at 50% off. Since these are unauthorized clones with poor quality, the reseller naturally won't warranty them, but hopes that our company will take care of the dissatisfied customers. Since these clones have nothing to do with Von Schweikert Audio, we will not service them. Naturally, they don't have a warranty to begin with, so nothing is transferable.
In addition, the poor quality replicas of our speakers sold by Higher Fi and branded "LSA Audio" have nothing to do with our company. Higher Fi is using our name to resell these clones, so buyer beware - according to extremely dissatisfied customers who have called us, these particular clones are junk, and our company did NOT design them for LSA - the designs were stolen from us by LSA's fabricator.
