Help with Hales Rev3


I have the Hales Rev3 which have a short. All the drivers seem to play, but I think I have a short in the crossover network. I have seen post about QSC and Madisound. Has anyone had any luck with either of these routes? Does anyone know if there is some one that can give tech info on such a problem? Thanks for any help!

What Humby88 says was what the press related at one point in time except that honoring the warranty was NOT part of the press release. QSC originally was to buy the existing Hales' inventory of parts. Since then at least one person reported QSC denying that Paul is with them. Subsequent comments suggest Paul may be trying to ressurect Hales. Most recently Stereophile reported that Madisound had bought the Hales' parts inventory. Based on all that no one is currently honoring the warranty. BUT, not having first hand knowledge this is mostly conjecture. As the owner of a pair of Hales speakers any update on what Lakerat finds would be appreciated!

BTW, what are the symptoms that lead you to the conclusion that something is shorted, Lakerat? Any idea how it happened?
Thanks for the update, LR. Glad to hear you have some recourse. So far I've had no problems with my R3s and given the state of the company hope to never need repairs. My guess is the deal with Wadia (which itself may have been necessitated by then existing factors) led to the current situation. I DO love their speakers and hope to see the company ressurected at some point. Let us know how things turn out.
