New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing.

"Seller" was the vendor likely where the confusion arose.

Maybe Troidelover1499 said that because the 1.7s haven’t been made for a few years. As a new poster, you may not get much sympathy for calling out someone trying to help! I think I bought mine in 2011 for under CAD2000. How did you buy them new? Are you sure you don’t mean 1.7i ???

Hi ddd1,  as a NEW poster, as if that should make a difference, I meant no disrespect to 1499 but it was  plainly stated that they were brand new 1.7's. I didn't say 1.7 S - I said new 1.7. Of course they are are 1.7i's because they are brand new and  that's why in Canada they cost $3200.00 plus 13% tax. You assumed I stated 1.7s speakers. I was merely   inquiring as to anyone  else experiencing the quasi ribbon diaphragms  ungluing on new brand new speakers.

You said 1.7 in your OP and I referred to them as 1.7s (ie. plural), just to eliminate any confusion.

I had original 1.7s (plural of 1.7) and about 1 month before the warranty expired, I noticed something not right. I only noticed it with one song in my whole collection but once I noticed it, I looked a bit closer and one speaker either had delamination or shipping damage (barely visible) that I didn’t notice until the warranty was almost over. I bought them from Audio Excellence, an authorized dealer, and was able to have them replaced with a brand new pair but I had to pay one-way shipping costs to have Audio Excellence send them down to the USA for assessment. So I was only out a couple hundred dollars for the privilege of using them for almost a year. I never did hear back about what the problem was.

I bought mine from Stereo Passion in Ottawa Ontario  Canada.  They arrived with brand new bagging, Styrofoam  boarding, inner cardboard  box, and an outer cardboard  box - brand new from the factory in Minnesota. There is no way after so many years of expertise  that an inferior glue should of been  used  and now I have to wait months . I'm  naturally an optimist  but I'm dealing with the trades and everywhere  I turn  people are dropping the ball and could care less. Just saying.
