I agree with your position, but it seemed from the email correspondence I had, they were'nt willing to help. They also had my first unit for 8 months before they issued a replacement, then I had it boxed up in my spare bedroom for 3 months. I take it out, it works fine for 2 months, then does the same thing the first one did. I relayed this a Klipsch rep, and she told me in none so many words to "pound sand." This isn't an isolated incident, it's a defect, probably on a whole production run on their product, and they're not owning up to it---and that's upsetting.
