Buyer Dispute

This issue is nearly resolved now that Bowers & Wilkins has restocked the tweeters. The question of how the tweeter voice coils became discontinuous will never be known short of an autopsy of the drivers. I have applied my knowledge to develop a strong opinion. The seller has his opinion and I agreed to disagree, and that was that. The seller offered a solution upon my telling him about the tweeters not working. The rub (as noted in my original forum post) was that I had been waiting 6 months for the tweeter to be in stock so that he could follow through. And B&W could not tell me when they would come in. Was I to wait another 6 months? Another 8 months? What is a reasonable timeframe? What other pathway to a resolution are there? Well, the wait is now over, and there will not be another 6 months wait. As if on cue, B&W has restocked the tweeter and the seller can now send replacements. Once I receive them, this issue will then be closed.

B&W sound like a reckless party to this too. 

I have had my own troubles with buying speakers as well, I can understand that it's easy to end up with a defective product and no support. 

Sounds like he knew the speakers were bad and did not want to wait himself for the new ones. Also he could have thought that the replacements might never come.

I think some sort of $ back to you would be fair.

Come on, TWO TWEETERS spontaneously and simultaneously self destruct??
No way. This guy is a first class creep, and he’s trying to pawn off his problem on you. Go after him with everything you’ve got.

All interesting discussion, but this is NOT the place to get something like this resolved. Way too much speculation in my opinion. There is always more to a story than meets the eye. The way you see it, the way I see it, and the way it really is. Just saying.....
