Thanks guys. Well I paid by money order. The seller is really trying to help out here. He is going threw the motions with fed ex as it was insured. We also have before and after pictures. Lets hope!! P.S> Fed ex is picking the speaker up tomorrow to inspect. What does fed ex do with packages they pick up? Will they trash the speaker? Will they send it out to get looked at? Will they auction it? Where does it end up? If replacement woofers are available, it would still be cheaper to repair then for me to win another one on ebay. What makes the academy rare? What peice can't be replaced anymore? Thanks again guys..

Heya man, I was bidding on that academy also. I had it at 665.01 for like 3 seconds. I won the black one last week with no grill, but the whole speaker was about destroyed in shipping. I posted about it. Both speaker magnets fell off and the box was damaged to hell. I have a pair of quartets, and want an academy since it is listed as the only match. Besides another quartet,forte II, Chorus II, etc.. What would you suggest? I am going for the one on ebay friday unless I find a good alternative. Is there another available center that will match good for movies only? Any info would be appreciated. P.S. I don't see an academy going for any reasonable ammount anytime soon, I paid 510 for the grill less scratched up one, and was going to pay up to 900 for the one that just sold, (didnt have time to rebid though darnit), will be watching for more unless there is a replacement. /shrug I just want my front 3 to match dangit hehe.

=( Yes, I am hearing that the woofers are shot. Once they seperate, they are crap. Sadly it was shipped Fed Ex Ground. The speaker only had a 1/16th wrapping of small bubble wrap. The outside of the box was severly damaged as well, otherwise I would try to buy new woofers. Yes I got hit hard on this Academy. I wanted one so badly, and I looked threw completed auctions and didnt even see 1. I knew they were rare, so I went for it. There have been 3 more academy's on ebay this week, I will have to win one of these also. I have quartets, and really want the academy for my theater. I asked the shipper to file this with Fed ex, and asked for my money order back if he hasnt cashed it yet, but I do have a feeling this will take a while. I appreciate your help on this. And yes I saved the boxes, it just came today.

Hello guys, I recently won an academy off ebay. It was damaged really bad in shipping. I opened it up and both speaker magnets had fallen off. Meaning it was hit HARD. These are very strong magnets. I placed them back on, lined up the little copper tube thing on the back, but the speakers have zero throw and no bass. It is working, but not correctly. Can anyone take off their grill and see if the academy's speakers move when you push on them? I would assume they would have a little throw. Mine are solid like a rock! Please, any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Heya, sent you an email about the grill. Seems they cannot be gotten from Klipsch anymore. I wonder how hard it would be to make a grill for it? Or can you still get the grill? Please reword your ebay auction so bidding doesnt get out of hand with people thinking they can order a grill. Thanks
