Hi Steve, it was a pleasure speaking on the phone with you again. I will send the check back this tuesday/wednesday.
For everybody else figuring out what happened, we planned for fedex to safely package the speakers for shipping. Well long story short, once I saw the two young guys handle the speakers, I told them to stop packing and took the speakers back home. There was no way it will arrive in one piece even before it leaves the shop. With their awkward shape, and box grills, it is quite a challenge to package without it's original boxing material. Last thing I want is for an excited audiophile rushing home to open the box and have his/her heart shattered when they see a damaged product. I know that feeling and do not want to bestow it to my fellow AC members.
So, its back on the market. LOCAL TO MD/VA/DC only! Please call me or email me directly at 410-491-5615 or kinchipoon@yahoo.com
