The whole thing should not have been posted on an open forum. It is between the buyer & seller. Since the OP posted it, comments are going to happen. " At the end of the day" means just that. Pull the emotion out from the OP, KD and everyone else posting here. and what do you have?
Just what I said. Do we know what really happened in the communication between the OP & KD, no only he said - he said.
I don’t know why the OP posted this: " My concern.
Here is the description of the Acoustic Zen Adagio from Upscale audio’s website.This pair of Adagio’s from our demo room are also the last pair of Adagio’s in our inventory. The Adagio is such a sweet sounding speaker and is perfect for those who really like to get inside the music. The pair we have are in the stunning Figure Red wood finish. The baffle style is the original (and better sounding) non-tapered baffle, as pictured. Price $2499.00 plus shipping"
The above is the description from Upscale’s website current listing of the Acoustic Zen Adagio Jr. speakers, NOT the Acoustic Zen Adagio’s speakers that the OP bought.
There seems to be missing info from both parties and makes me suspect things are just not the way they seem, however, at the end of the day the OP gets a nice sounding pair of speakers at a reasonable price (warts & all). If the OP can live with the flaws and the rebate fine, if he ships them back for a full refund fine, however he won’t have the nice speakers. Both parties need to handle this off the forum, report the end results if one or the other deem necessary. There are no winners in this.
