USPS records delivery delays
@noromance I usually just ask the seller prior to paying if it is something I want quickly. In my experience, sellers are generally accommodating. 
Wilson Audio Sasha sound imbalance
Have you called Wilson? It’s not hard? They will help you. If you swapped the speakers and your issue moved with the speakers, one of them has an issue. A driver on its way out, a connection problem somewhere, or perhaps an issue with a crossover....

questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s
