...and despite going through numerous cases of damage and missing parts you're truely dedicate yourself to Martin Logan.

Touching!:-)
I currently own 6 ML speakers (Odyssey / Cinema / Scenarios / Descent) and have bought and sold a pair of Aerius i's; I've never had anything go wrong whatever. A friend of mine has two pairs (CLS and Aerius) and again, no issues whatever.

Judging by the shipping cartons that I have, there would have to be complete malfeasance in shipping to cause problems.

There must be some sort of local disturbance in your area.
The shipping issue was on a used sale, it was discussed in a different thread - it had nothing to do with ML or any dealer.

Given that the panels can age or get dirty, and given that there are a lot of new people buying used, sometimes very old ML speakers, there are bound to be some problems and questions. A couple threads lately, but not a lot that I've noticed - 2 yeras ago I bought a used pair of SL3 that have been flawless, so much so that I recently bought used CLSII, and the problem I had was not with ML, rather that 14 year old panels were represented as new.
Sounds like Johnk is making this up. Eight pairs - OK. Who is the dealer so we can check this out. I hate fake threads like this bashing something that was not the fault of the manufacturer or dealer.
I have had 3 pairs which includes the pair I Currently own and have never had a damaged pair. Why would you buy 8 pairs of a speaker which you have had Nemours problems with?????????? I took 8 pairs to move on??
