What's wrong with my almost new speakers?

It pays NOT to specify the name of the component you're having trouble with.

I asked for help/advice about a Sony 5400ES player that was truncating the first half-second of music at startup.
When I went to sell, someone made a firm offer then reneged when he found my post.
"Oh! You've had a problem with this player!"
The "problem" was explained in the owner's manual.
It happens when you use the HDMI connection to send music to a DAC or HT receiver (something in the HDMI "handshaking" protocol).

So, due to the BOZO factor, I don't include the component name anymore.

So, which is worse? Getting useful information about your problem, or bunch of wise-ass comments.

After getting the new speakers, you finally realized that the first pair of speakers weren't really that good to begin with.

I think that one was a special case. At no time was there ever a problem with the player. Its those damn owners manuals.

Another reason someone might be reluctant to specify the product in question is that, regardless of the eventual outcome, it can create a negative impression for the manufacturer. It's fair to ask the OP's question without specifying the brand. Not ideal, but not worthy of all the sarcasm you guys have heaped on him.
