Oh My what to do?

So two months ago I bought a set of Swan 5.2F's and 5.2R's. One of the speakers has failed, as in the bottom woofer blew, and the top midrange and tweeter are not working properly. The dealer is saying there is little they can do, but refund my money, and is now offering PSB speakers as a replacement for my Swans. I am not familiar with the brand, so looking for some input, on what I should expect as a replacement for the Swans. I will miss the beauty of these Swans to say the least!

Well... I would look at the speakers as 'not up to the torture you inflict..' (tongue in cheek)
And buy something else while you can.
If you blow the Swans up AGAIN after they fix them.. I doubt they will be as understanding as they are now.

So I would say you're best off going for the other speakers the dealer is offering.

It may be not your fault. The Swans may just not be up to your level of Rockin' out. (Or your friend who cranked them past "ELEVEN" while you were out?)

My Fender Champ's volume control is marked to twelve. It has been to that level a few times since I have owned it and the original speaker is still fine. Maybe I should check to see if it is still under warranty after fifty plus years... just to be safe.

Have you checked the available HiVi woofers at Parts-Express? Maybe they have the specific replacement.

Well, Only 1 speaker is Blown, the other two play but at a very low db. If I have the Tone set to 0 on the left side, even having the right set at 10 is not as loud as the left. To me this has to be a crossover issue, and Swan says, they do not have replacement crossovers. At this point I am fed up with Swans service, so will be returning these and try out the PSB line instead

I have owned a few pairs of PSB and thought they were excellent speakers for the money. Lenbrook owns PSB and NAD and have excellent customer service and will be there down the road....
