what would you do?

"The old bait & switch" Upscale Audio is not ebay pot luck.

And, as others have said how could the poster not realize for a year and a half that he received the "wrong amp"?

Me, I wouldn't post three threads on the subject, I would chalk it up to a lack of awareness. What's the old saying, "Trust but verify?" Some lessons are a little more expensive than others.

Hey look at all of those that bought from an outfit called, "The Audio Pimp" and were then shocked and awed that the deals turned sour.

Three post,,,sounds like a temper tantrum!

What 52tiger should have done has been made very clear at this point. What I suggest you do now is talk to Kevin Deal and not one of his employees if you have not done so already. If Kevin told you that it was too late to do anything about it I would call Cary and see if there is anything they can do about it.

The amp should still be under warranty if you bought it new. If you registered it with Cary I assume the warranty card would have the serial number on it and it would not match the serial number on your receipt. If they are both dated within 90 days of one another, I think Cary would want to straighten the matter out.

If neither Kevin nor Cary are interested then you have to take the hit and learn from it. I doubt the police want to get involved.

Usually the over-active moderators stop even legitimate activity.

Time to make 52tiger go away. Seems like troll and scam artist.
