What pets hang out with Audiophiles?

Hi, just to share my 2 cents worth about this site.....Disputes happens everywhere not only on this site. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the best audio sites available on the net. Regulars here will tell you the same. Communication is ve... 
JM Labs Electra 946 vs Dunlavy SCIV-A
I have heard the 946 and the SC4A. I have also owned the non "A" version and IMO, still way better than the 946. 946 might sound slightly tidier and cleaner overall but does not convey the music like the SC4. With the 946, you will be listening to...

What is the right thing here................
Dan tell him to ship the drivers back to you so you can inspect them. If they are indeed blown, you should replace them.Sounds funny that both drivers blew at the same time. Bring them back to a speaker repair place or to B&W and they'll tell ...
