My friend in Portland takes his speakers with damage to a local woodworker for repair. It seems that the prices were reasonable.

In searching the pre-owned section of HiFiHeaven earlier today, I notice both newer Forte and Heresy IIIs for sale that were either used or damaged. I thought the prices seemed attractive but I dont know the new retail prices so dont quote me. This may be a good opportunity if you choose to go down this path.
