Ouch!

Even with one midrange tied behind it's back, the M60's will still sound good.

Yeah, that's about what one of my boxes looked like too. I bet that Axiom will just send you another driver - a whole lot cheaper for everyone than cross-shipping speakers, I'd imagine.

Have you listened to them? Does the damaged M60 sound different from the good one? Morbid curiosity. Axiom will correct the situation, I'm sure, but in the meantime they might sound just fine for your party. Just leave the grills on .
