    Don't get it from Infiniti. I've had a few bad experiences. Send an email to Polk CS to see if they have one. I got mine from Polk for less than that.

    They falsly advertised new, non-opened products. Both of my LSiM orders (a 706c and a pair of 705s) were in obviously opened, tampered with packaging. The interior foam was completely obliterated so that there was no way they could survive shipping... and obviously the speakers themselves were damaged. I did get refunds.

    It is my opinion that they knowingly sell damaged speakers and then file fraudulent claims with the shipping companies for the full prices of the speakers. Can't prove it, but at the VERY LEAST, they do sell opened boxes with destroyed packaging as "new never opened'.
