VANDERSTEEN 5A

Last year I bought a pair of used Vandersteen 5A from a reputable dealer that I have been buying for over 20 years. For the past year the amps on the 5A have been returned to Vandersteen for repairs an incredible 6 times (3 times each side). Did anyone experience this with the Vandersteen 5A? Any comments or suggestion is greatly appreciated. What should I do?

What did Vandersteen say? There's no way he would see those amps come back 6 times for repairs and not grab the phone and start asking questions.

He did ask questions and he suggested that it might be the electric in my house which I updated (costing $3K) for the two dedicated circuits, isolated and hospital grade outlets just for the subs. However, after few weeks the same thing happened and they had to go back again.

Matter of fact they are still in his hands (30 days and counting) and waiting for getting them back.
