i purchased a kv3 for $175 that was in mint condition. it arrived yesterday by ups. the problem is it was damaged during shipping. the side veneer is on a corner is chipped,but the box itself doesn't seem to be damaged to the point where it well effect sound. one of the speakers closest to the area damaged is also bad, seems as if metal cylinder on back of speaker has separated and the speaker doesn't work.
my dilema is this:
a: do i keep the speaker and renagotiate price if possible from owner, then replace bad speaker with a new one from klipsch.
b: have already been in touch with ups and they are going to pick up on monday (was insured)but have not been able to reach the original owner since damaged.
c: bid on one of the kv3's currently on ebay and try my luck getting another one for the same price or less and hopefully having it arrive undamaged.
i guess what iam asking is this speaker worth fixing once damaged or should i forget about it and try for another one.
sorry about all the rambling any input would be greatly appreciated.
