What would you do?

I just received a pair of speakers that I have been waiting 6 months for delivery on. One of the mid drivers cone is dented probably because the manufacturer forgot to put plastic protectors they normally use to avoid these issues. My dealer offered to come to my house and replace the mid drivers in both speakers. Is this acceptable? Should I get a new pair of speakers? They cost me $50,000.00.

If the mfgr. touts the speakers as having hand-matched drivers, you need new speakers. If not, then replacement drivers installed at your home should do just fine...

Even if they are hand matched, the manufacturer should have record of this, and obtain drivers that meet the specs yours originally did. In which case they could be installed by the dealer. I would not expect two new speakers because one cone came damaged.

I agree with S7horton. It should be certified from the manufacturer that you are getting a set of matched drivers.

You could order another new set and have other more offensive shipping damage. Then what? I'm assuming the speakers are not that light or easy to ship...
