Musicpod and Hifhvn, it is NOT that I believe that speaker driver's have a ZERO failure potential. Instead, I am saying that of all components that are delivered new to a consumer in our hobby; I would say that speaker drivers are on the VERY low side of the infant mortality curve. Certainly very low compared to tube components as an example. Therefore, the risk to a consumer of warranty issues is IMO far, far less with this type of component. I guess YMMV.
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
Sumiko just announced that
"IN ADDITION, SUMIKO WILL NOT SUPPLY PARTS AND/OR SERVICE FOR ANY SONUS FABER PRODUCT WITHOUT PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM A SUMIKO AUTHORIZED DEALER IN NORTH AMERICA ".
What a curious statement . Can you imagine Volkswagen refusing to provide parts for their own cars, no matter where they were bought? I do hope other distributors will follow. It would surely drive the prices down considerably on Audiogon for used gear.

Janeb, just curious why you have this picture in your system link? |
It's nice of you to loan your speakers out for pictures too. Have a nice day. |
