Did you pay with a credit card? You should be able to get your money back.
Good luck.

I want to make things perfectly clear. I have not sought a refund from MSS nor do I seek one. I stupidly did no fully test this item for a long period of time (outside their refund sales policy) as I was renovating my house at the time. As I purchased a brand new / never opened product and being a speaker - I did not expect any trouble.

However, this item subsequently was found to be;

a) not new
b) had its drivers removed and replaced by a non- dynaudio tech
c) has got 2 fused tweeters which Dyna have quoted me $1999 (aus) to replace.

MSS told me in writing that they had got the speaker directly from Dynaudio USA. Dyna deny this.

  Could be a Lot less expensive, if you went with something other than the Dynaudio tweeters. Might take a bit of fiddling with the capacitor on the tweeter, but you might get equal (or possibly even better) results with a different tweeter. I switched out my factory dome tweeters (not Dynaudio tweeters or speakers) with Aurum Cantus folded ribbons, and they blow away the stock tweets. I thing the G2's were like 150.00 USD a pair at the time I got 'em, about 2 1/2 years ago. I had to rout out the tweeter mounting hole a bit to make 'em fit, but a competent cabinet maker could do that for ya.
  
  Dynaudio might make you a special deal, if you explained the whole mess to 'em.
  
  Just a thought.

    The Dynaudio in question would not likely just have a simple cap XO on the tweeter, nor would simply fiddling with cap values likely be sufficient to match a tweeter to them if they did.
    
    Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
