What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced?

@ twoleftears  No...they were showing the S610s on Sound Anchor Stands...which really sounded good.  Trevor Ryan was there and said that the S840s are pretty close to ready and that in their own test speakers, they are very, very similar to the 61...

Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
