Why so many problems with martin logan?

I have owned 8 pairs had problems with allmost all of them .3 pairs where deliverd in damaged or missing parts ,or wrinkled pannels.Or cosmetic damage.I like the sound but have found a better way so Iam glad I have moved on .Since I havent owned M/L the other speakers I have purchased worked right out of the box with out many calls to my dealer and martin logan .Iam talking about there new models .Just wondering if others have had these problems ?Thxs for your imput.JK

Maybe people don't believe your post because you SAY you have had 8 pairs. Come on, why would anyone buy a speaker 8 times who has had nothing but problems???? I would think after a couple of bad speakers, no more than 3 you would say enough is enough, but to buy 5 more pairs that doesn't make any sense. You also say that the damaged Logan's wasn't by shipping so I guess that means all 8 pairs that you bought were packed damaged?? If this was the cause and a practice Martin Logan does do, don't you think this would have been talked about a lot here and on other message boards?? 8 pairs?? If they were all bought from the dealer wouldn't he take them back?? Or did all this happen after they were in your system for a period of time?

I purchased the logans over a 14 year period I like the sound of pannels so I put up with the problems .Who cares what others believe .I do not lie .If you read my post you would see that 5 pairs of the 8 I bought gave me some problems also the last couple pairs gave me the most grief thus I no longer will buy M/L products. This is my experance with M/L .I could care less if others dont believe me .Happy listening
