On the other hand...

I guess I'm just unlucky. After all the glowing reviews I could resist no longer and pulled the trigger on a pair of M22's. Ordered B stock (also after reading all of the favorable "don't worry about it" comments). Two day shipping, however they were single boxed with minimum styrofoam, even missing one of the corners. But the box itself did not appear damaged. 1/8 to 1/4 inch quite obvious dent on the top right front of one of the speakers, likely damaged during the build, unfortunately a very noticeable area. Can't blame them, though it is B stock after all. But you are most definitely taking a gamble with what you get. Don't fool yourself. However, of course the most important thing to me is how they sound, and while I am finding it is taking time to get used to them, I am "understanding" a little better each day.
