As you well know by now I have the M7s going on 2 weeks now. Yes there was some cosmetic issues that I literally cleaned up. With my Adcom I pushed them a wee bit to far and blew one of the mid-woofers. Ok, nothing on E-Bay so I ordered the speaker from Polk direct. Easy peasy, I thought and found out through the tracking # that it was already delivered to my porch. What, I don't have a porch I have steps out front.
Just for giggles and to get some relief from the heat I opened my back door and the package was on my back balcony. This dude while not a high jump had no right to toss the thing w/o calling or something. It's in and they are working back up to '78 spec and already spoke to Dave about doing the x-overs in the future. This was Fed-EX and w/o a doubt no affiliation...
I already had a mis delivered package from Trey and luckily the woman was really honest and brought my x-overs to me.

    Well my nice new svs sub was dropped off onto my steps while I was at work. I live in a nice neighborhood, but was rightfully paranoid. I rushed home from Work, and within minutes of scooping it off my steps it torrential downpoured for about 30 minutes.

    When I bought my LSIM 705's from the forum, the shipper sent them as sign for delivery only.

    I got home one day and there was one 705 on my porch. It had a big old picture of the speaker on the side of the box for all to see and was screaming for someone to walk off with it.

    I was home the next day and the fedex guy came around and dropped off the other. I asked him why the heck he dropped one off on the porch the day before.

    He said, "Only one of the boxed called for delivery. I mean, I knew they were a pair, but...sorry man."
