Hi Smata67:
First off hand I am truly sorry about all the trouble you have experience with your recent transaction. I have taken the time to read and understand others responds/opinions on the issue.
I took a interest reading the thread, because I personally experience a similar circumstance and IMO found that using UPS very risky. Ups dropped a product shipped by me that I took the time and patience to properly secure before shipping and when the buyer receive the product it had damages at the corner similar to yours.
When I spoke to the Ups agent they explained to me that they were entitled to drop up to 6 ft. Needless to say I will never use there services again! I do not think securing beyond at any level guarantees safe delivery with them.
I understand this does not correct the problem but to the sellers integrity packing unit in the original manufactures packaging and box demonstrates proper judgment.
I also have Thiels cs-3.5 and had a Aragon dual mono 4004 amp driving them which I regret selling. Thiels had always endorsed Aragon as the Amp of choice for there speakers. The 3.5's certainly does require high current amperes such as the Aragon flagship 8008 BB.
Enjoy music!
