billybob Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yes we talked about warranty on speakers here before... Sure those that automatically get one would use one....just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They attitude was: "If the problem is legitimate and customer is cool, fix him up." Blown tweeters were the biggest issue, causing the Khorn Network to go from an A to an AA. But I'm thinking because of regulatory bodies, etc. came up with: "If you don't have an official warranty, you must say so." Which then cause Klipsch and Associates to come up with an official warranty in WRITING. As usual, lawyers in government spoil everything. My favorite warranty was for Quad ElectroStatic Loudspeakers. They said they were warranted for X years IF you didn't remove the grilles. If you did, then the warranty would convert to "Lifetime" which would be very short, since the driving voltage was dangerously high and the customer's life would be over quick. LOL You gotta love that British sense of Humor!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only buy it from England AFAIK, but the data sheet should be available. I know of one American that bought a pair for his K-402's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference was ours had tweed grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there's no warranty on used items, this is what you get, but so what????? Just like GM doesn't warranty your car in a crash. Look, these speakers are not mine to sell, so I don't care that much. I just thought if someone BELIEVED in the sonic superiority of Cornwall IV's vs. the older Cornwalls, based on all the reviews, this was a good way to save some money and still get the SOUND................................geez, people............... Hey, calm down! My post was strictly for information, for those that apparently didn't know much about B stock....geez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
