Why even bother?
I hear ya, I hate that. But there are many reasons for someone not responding, including medical. Perhaps send one last message stating that you are reconsidering the purchase. If he doesn't respond in a couple days, I guess move on. At least yo... 
Dedicated mains supply unexpected result

Surge protector
A couple of years ago we had a power surge from a storm. Everything that was plugged into a AQ Niagara conditioner(s) were fine. However, 2 rear JL subs were plugged directly into the wall was damaged. BTW, the front JL subs that were plugged into... 
Experience with Lumin L2?

Worst Speakers Ever??

Worst Speakers Ever??
