Replacing Veneer on ProAc Speakers

I'll see if I can summon the guts to pull them out of the box. It makes me ill to see such a wonderful product in that condition."

Don't feel too bad, you're new ones won't be scratched. Also, if for some reason you can't get the mover to make good on them, you should be able to file a claim with your homeowners/renters policy.

Thinking a moving company is going to replace them is what delusional people do. No way. I've had the unpleasant experience of dealing with moving adjusters and there is no way you are going to come out 'whole', especially since the speakers in rosewood are not in production. What to do? Cry, then take the moving company to small claims court for $1500 plus court and legal expenses. Move on to a new pair of ProAc's, which are great speakers. I own the one's you have lost.

given the correct fact by buconero, you still can initiate a claim against moving company, collect funds, sell your speakers + collected funds will probably get you a new pair or near-mint used pair of proacs.

Most home insurance policies don't cover damage as a result of moving.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. The only thing I don't agree with is the $1500. Ask for $5000 (or whatever your local maximum is), plus all court costs in addition to the 5k. You can always settle for less, but you can't go up.

I understand why you would say that, but in most cases (including this one), that's probably not true. Most home owners and renters policies will cover this type of loss. The problem is getting them to pay it. Most of the time the insurance company will try and talk their way out of paying legit claims. Or, at the very least, try to settle for a lessor amount.
