Speaker return or sell As New

I recently purchased 2 sets of speaker, on paper radically different.

1. The LRS from Magnepan 2. The Zu Audio Dirty Weekend.

I love rock music, from the classic bands to Metallica. I also listen to all music in smaller doses.

Simple AB testing with my ordinary ears, cheap cables and an unremarkable amplifier. Led me to prefer the LRS with a REL T7i subwoofer versus the Dirty Weekenders.

Having said that, 2 questions arise.

First, any suggestions to make the desicion better informed without at this moment buying a better amp or cables.

Amp is an Iota VX with the additional power amp.

Cables 12AWG un branded.

Streaming for now from Amazon Ultra HD for testing through a Bluetooth Aptx adapter.

I cannot afford to spend more money for now.

And the other question, do you think I should offer the Dirty Weekenders for sale "As New" since they are and give anyone who missed the recent sale, the chance of buying them. They have the Capacitors upgrade from Zu. Or simply return for the full refund they offer?

As ever, thanks for any input and advice!

Happy Holidays to all.

I would return the speakers to Zu and be done with it. If you sale them, you are at the whim of potentially fickle buyers who may find a way to take advantage of you after the purchase.

So is the speaker company at the whim of the customer.

No, not at all. Zu is a direct to consumer speaker manufacturer who offers a money back return policy as a way of allowing consumers to try their product in the consumer's own home. It's called a win/win and no one is being taken advantage. It's a business proposition and both sides of the deal are fully aware of the stipulation.

Here is the related verbiage from the Zu website:

OMEN DW GUARANTEES • Two month 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. • Free return shipping if expectations are not met ($99 shipping is not refunded). • 1-year 100% trade-up value (excludes shipping). • 5-year limited parts and labor warranty.

 
BTW, why your concern for the speaker company? From reading most of your recent posts, it's clear how you feel about speaker companies. Have you had a change of heart and now feel some compassion for them?
