I've tried saving them. I saved my LFR1100 boxes, but they've been stored outside in a shed for years, so I'm fairly sure I'm going to find they've deteriorated. Ideally, upgrading to the Actives, I would have just been able to send them back in their shipping boxes, but I have to send this pair back since there was damage, and one of the boxes arrived without a top or bottom. So fingers crossed I can cobble something adequate together. I'm especially nervous about the larger speakers and subwoofers because of how many times they seem to sustain damage even with fresh packaging.
I don't have much space, which is why I have them outside. Even if I had the space inside, I'm not sure I'd use it to store them. Yes, they're nice to have on hand, chilling in perfect condition, but I think most people would find their space more valuable than the future potential convenience.
Besides possibly ordering another LFR shipping box, I imagine I will definitely be doing it for the two EP800s I'm sending in for credit. They're just too big to try to hodgepodge something.
I say keep the bigger boxes if you can, but otherwise reclaim your space.
