Finally got my M60's today and cried when I opened the packaging .... these things are damaged everywhere. Two top tweeters pushed in, corners all dented, grilles snapped when trying to pull them off, paint chips, etc.
Anyone have any idea if Axiom would refinish these if I sent them in? I'll at least need new grilles from them, I suppose the other stuff is cosmetic. Also wondering if pushed-in speakers affect sound quality? There are no puncture wounds anyway on the two pushed in speakers (silver lining)?
I've contacted the shipper and shared my displeasure, I doubt I'll get a response since this was a private deal though.
I can share pics if someone can tell me how to post 'em!
Thanks

Honestly Chris, if the tweeters are pushed in, I'm wondering if it was done BEFORE shipping.

Are you sure they were in good shape from the seller? Between shipping and refurbishing from Axiom (if they do such a thing) I bet would cost a small fortune ... probably cheaper to buy speakers from them.
Sorry to hear about your problem.

I agree--particularly if you really mean the tweeters. The tweeters would be very, very difficult to push in on these speakers without conscious effort. If you mean the dust caps on the midranges or the woofers, that's a different story.

Yeah the packaging from the seller was absolute crap. I don't think I mean tweeters, the speakers just below that are the ones pushed in ... the silk domed ones. (Sorry for the lack of knowledge, this is my first set)! I did see pics of these beforehand and they were not like this ... the weight of other items crushing my speakers I'm sure caused the damage.
What about Axioms trade-up program? I've heard people mention this before. Can I trade these in on new ones, or M80's if I need to "upgrade"?
Thanks for any help!

Well, if it's just the dust caps (the black part in the middle--which aren't silk domed, btw--that's just plastic), and the aluminum of the woofer isn't dented, that's a lot better. You can pull out the dents with masking tape or a vacuum cleaner; but there's no real need to, except for aesthetics.
