''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ?

Dealers have been known to lie to make a sale. This will come as a shock to some. In this case, I would heed the mfg. not the dealer. The chances the mfg. will honor the warranty in this case are slim & none, & Slim left town.

This dealer wouldn't be on eBay selling Gallos, would he? I purchased a pair of Gallo Dues from these guys and got suspicious when the SNs on the speakers did NOT match the ones on the box ("factory sealed boxes, never opened" - yeah, right). A quick call to Mena at Gallo confirmed my suspicions. Turns out these guys made up their own serial number stickers and pasted them onto the Dues - sleazy bastids.

But, check this out, because I cooperated with Gallo and provided them with all the info. they requested, they agreed to honor the warranty in full - *very* cool.

Caveat emptor, dude.

Often times, they will state the warranty will be honoured with the seller and they will handle any repairs. Not a great help when most of the sellers aren't in for the long haul and are often out of business when your gear breaks down.

ask for the serial # and call the Manufacturer and go from there.........

Liars? Are you referring to American Theater by any chance Porziob? I almost made the mistake of purchasing new Polk Audio speakers from them. You know the saying...''if it's too good to be true, it probably is,'' Found out from the manufacturer (Polk) that they are NOT authorized dealers and there would be NO WARRANTY. The dealer would of course probably say i'm wrong about this, but the real truth comes from the manufacturer does it not ? No way I can encourage this dealer now.
