You guys are blaming the shipping companies, and they may be responsible for some of the dammage, however you are forgetting where speakers are shipped from, Canada. In order to get them to you, then need to cross the boarder. I am sure that much of the dammage is / can be caused by US customs verifying the contents of the packages. This would explain open boxes and dammaged components (US customs removes speakers from boxes and tries to put them back).

Awsome report Jason, just might have to put one or two on my Xmas list for next year, LOL.

Last time I crossed a boarder, he nearly ran me over and proceeded to get in my face for ruining his ollie.

I think its legal to shoot skateboarders in Wyoming just like coyotes and I believe you can even spotlight them at night \:\)

Excellent Jason, thanks for taking your time to do this very informative writeup!


Regarding the shipping, maybe the packaging isn't suitable for these big, heavy and sensitive speakers? I worked for a company in the past that had $500k+ small aircraft turbine engines shipped to and from all over the world and don't recall one single incident of breakage due to shipping, as one might guess their packaging was superb.
