MEH Synergy Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They are being sold off deeply discounted of course. https://www.adorama.com/us 1036803.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwio3dBRAqEiwAHWsNVZOChxOTSgIoMUOemRo2OWOQJnXj1jOm0_Ht6VtscRV4eV3PpXLb1hoCaP8QAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confab Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 At that price I would think the damage is significant. Typical scratch & dent discounts usually are not that steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-js- Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 supposed to be. you would think they'd proof their work at least once before submitting, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Haha. No picture of the damage. Your guess is as good as mine how bad the damage is (I would guess severe). If it was just the riser, a new base could be made fairly simply it would seem for those with woodworking skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-js- Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 sure. and then there is this from the ad: "All used goods come with a 90 day Adorama warranty. To ensure your satisfaction, any used equipment can be returned within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked!" so, at worst, you might pay shipping both ways to look at them & try them out, looks like for even up to 90 days. if you're on the fence, looks very hard to beat that.

MEH Synergy Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Depding on just how bad they are, might be a great deal for someone. I remember all of the posts here about the hassles with communication to and from Adorama. I called to ask them a question and they never got back to me. First and last time I called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam S. Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 They are doing now what they didn't do when they initially sold these -- which is to actually disclose the damage to the customer. When I purchased a pair, they had to have known they were damaged, but never disclosed it. As the OP mentions, "all those damaged Adorama speakers", and it is documented on various forums that many orders were returned when they were received damaged - and some very significantly damged. Yes, return shipping may be picked up by Adorama, but you have to consider the time and effort involved with repacking them up and hauling them back to the shipper. And you might even get billed on your CC in the time it takes to ship them back and waiting for your credit to post. I'm all for great deals, but I'll never order anything from Adorama again, based on my previous experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have now purchased two items from them. Price was the lowest I could find. Both are fine products. Not sure the distribution that damages these speakers. Mine were palletized and in original boxes. Arrived in new condition. My second order was a 33’ Thunderbolt optical fiber cable to allow moving the dac further from the computer. Working fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Glad for you my friend. I am GUESSING they learned as a company from previous MULTIPLE well documented screw ups here. (if u save $100 on shipping, all will be well right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Oster Adorama Camera Is that a complete list of damaged klipsch speakers? It seems there should also be some damaged la scalas based on a purchase here on the forum.
