I sent my baby away!

Well, yesterday, I sent one of my Lsi25's off to Polk repair in San Diego. I measured and cut off pieces of another box and double-walled the inside of the speaker box and wrapped the speaker in two layers of bubble wrap to try and ensure safe passage. UPS picked it up at my house. I can only hope it arrives safely. I have not been able to listen to music in 2 weeks and I'm going nuts. I just hope the repairs it needs don't take too long. I'll feel better once I know it's arrived at Polk. Thank goodness for internet tracking!

    The right channel speaker was sending my amp into protection mode. Polk customer service said it was probably a bad crossover. I guess I'll find out for sure soon enough!

    Well, I just checked the UPS website and my speaker is now in the loving hands of the Polk Audio Service Department. I cant wait to listen to tunes and movies again in their full glory. To anyone who has ever sent speakers in for repair; how long was the turnaround time?

    To long I would Guess.

    I blew a driver once. Called customer service and they said send it in. I drove over to Polk headquarters and they gave me a new driver on the spot.

    Very good people to deal with. This was probably @ 1994.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    They were prompt when I sent my Lsi 7's in, I heard back from them the next buisness day.

    I don't think it'll be too long... though any day without music is "too long" in my book ;)
