**Advice Needed**Damage To Imported Speakers**


Hey everyone..
 2+ years ago I had a crush on the Heco "Aurora 700 Colors" model in the Sunrise Orange color..The ONLY place to buy Heco speakers in the USA had NO intention of bringing these in,so I contacted an Authorized Dealer in the United Kingdom,KRONOS AUDIO VISUAL (UK) LIMITED...
 They offered me a decent price so a deal was concluded..The speakers arrived in a few weeks & after unboxing one of them,visual inspection revealed a corner seam split open & separating about 6" long & up from the bottom..
 I immediately took several pics & emailed Kronos AV..NO reply..Week after week,month after month for the last 2 years I have emailed not only Kronos AV but Heco Germany as well..NEITHER company has EVER seen fit to even acknowledge receipt of my emails,let alone the actual problem..
 The Warranty was supposed to be 5 years & I really like the speakers sound BUT I couldn't ever sell them if I wanted because of the cabinet..So far the split has not expanded,probably because the speakers haven't moved since set up..
 ANY advice from the community on how to proceed from here?Am I just screwed & have no path to getting these fixed?
 Thanks very much.Take care..

Remember, once you attempt to repair the cabinet, all bets are off and you may void the warranty. I would mail a certified and regular postage letter to the manufacturer and audio shop. Document phone calls and attempts as well. If you don’t receive a response, I would leave comments on every social media platform possible, share your experience, and warn people about the seller and manufacturer. I would bet a paycheck that if you leave negative comments on Instagram, Facebook, etc., someone will reach out within hours.

If all else fails, find a custom woodworker, not just a regular cabinet shop, to repair the crack with structural epoxy - possibly T88. It’s hard to determine the best method without examining the speaker cabinet. Best of luck!
