At least, disconnect the drivers and use an ohm meter to make certain the voice coils are not either shorted or open. Also, if the ad did not specifically say the speakers were non- functional due to missing crossover parts, you might have some recourse.
Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase
Good evening fellow enthusiasts. Looking for advice after just making a stupid purchasing error. I usually do good research before making any transaction but I fell in love hard and got burned.
Just paid for some used Vandersteen Quatro for a "decent" price but failed to notice the purchase dis not include the crossovers. I live in the boonies so dont have a dealer handy to maybe just make my gear work without the crossovers, and it seems now the cost of new ones are a staggering $1295.00. This was for sure not in my budget as I am needing a couple of other pieces to complete this puzzle. Worse yet...once I take delivery of the Quatros...I wont have a way to even give them the once over sound wise to make sure they sound fine.
Any advice? I am bummed beyond all get out at this moment.
