the quip in question was in very poor taste.

Have you consulted Rob Gillum? Perhaps he can shed a little light on your query.  It is an interesting situation. Keep us posted as you find answer(s).
Happy Listening!

thanks,  but it would be interesting to see who else has had a problem with blown drivers in the x.7 models.  i certainly cannot be the only one but maybe i am.   i play my music loud but my girlfriend who does not like it too loud,   rarely says anything to me.  usually 80-85 db

Ron and all. I placed a query to Rob via phone message this morning. I will post what I learn. This information is indeed germane to all on this board.

I blew the midrange on my 3.7s the first few months I had them.  I was listening to Beethoven The Revolutionary loud.  I took the driver out myself and it didn't look scorched or anything to me.  That was back in 2012 and they've been fine since then.  They were an early pair I believe.  The serial numbers on the boxes are 41 and 42 I think.  I bought them used from Audio Consultants so it's possible they weren't the original boxes that came with the speakers.
