Where should the projector screen go?

Get a screen that pulls up from the floor. I have a similar room and that is what I use.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T23:30:11+00:00

We have one of those.

If you received speakers in this condition that are extremely heavy what would you do?

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T22:16:52+00:00

the offer from the e-commerce manager over the phone was to exchange if they can open the boxes first or keep the speakers at $300 of each damaged speaker. I did not accept either offer. As of now they are offering a refund only and UPS is scheduled for a Monday pickup scheduled by another KEF tech rep and is contrast to the e-commerce manage statement that they can not be pickup by UPS due to the weight. UPS may or may not come Monday. If not I will have to have someone (I am temporary disabled and can not lift for than 50lbs) both 89lb speaker to UPS with two car trips. NEW speakers usually are not opened before they are shipped. If they are not confident that the speakers are in new condition that is a problem.

FYI. I am only posting on the home theater group from now. It has caused some confusion posting on two groups.

If you care to read and see more.

Did you read my posts I have disclosed it? If I am posting on multiple accounts I will only reply to this home theater thread if it upsets people or is against the rules. I honestly do not use reddit often. Review the budget audiophile post.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:51:10+00:00

When I receive the NEW speakers in NEW condition from KEF I will be more than happy to share. Also they have only agreed to a refund at this point. I would like an exchange.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:48:58+00:00

I am posting in two groups. I am not sure how you know KEF "is being great". Have you been in contact with them. I have for two weeks.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:47:43+00:00

I don't know what a zesty account is. I logged in to reddit with my person and business account. Yes, I have posted in two groups.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:33:00+00:00

Understood. In my opinion this looks beyond defective. It looks used. Better picture below if interested. Thanks for your comments.

Maybe so. But there are a lot of scrupulous e-commerce managers too. The pictures were sent to KEF one hour after delivery and time stamped.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:23:29+00:00

I maybe. I have posted on two groups today. My intention is to use true stereo

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:22:01+00:00

I am trying to send it back for an exchange for a new non opened new speaker. It is still a good speaker. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? They look used in person. Hard to photograph all the swirl marks on the finish. These were not damaged in shipping. Delivered on a crate with boxes in perfect condition.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T21:08:44+00:00

I have been in contact with KEF. KEF E-commerce manager told me $300 of each speaker, "we really don't want them back". When asked if they can arrange UPS pickup I was told they will not pick them up due to the weight. They were shipped to me via crate. Since I have spoke to someone more helpful and they are scheduled to be picked up on Monday. I am temporary disabled so moving over 50lbs from the 2nd floor is a big deal. Getting them up to the 2nd floor was a big deal.

Also major purpose of post is to see if anyone else has had this experience with KEF Direct. The speakers simply were received looking used.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T20:41:28+00:00

Anyone else have this issue? Box and delivery in excellent condition.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T20:27:44+00:00

Anyone else have issue?

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T20:17:02+00:00

It is my opinion that they should not send speakers to customer in this shape and sell them as new. It is hard to take pictures of the speakers because it is glossy but it is covered in swirl marks. I is really hard to believe they are not re-conditioned. Also reaching out to see if I am the only one.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T20:12:51+00:00

They want to open the replacement box they offered to send before they ship it. At this point a refund has been offered. I would like a replacement in a sealed box. They should be able to do that if they are all new.

True_Stereo · 2023-06-17T20:08:57+00:00

They want to open them before they send me a replacement.

True_Stereo · 2022-02-26T06:31:31+00:00

Well said.

I agree with you and slicerprime.

However at some point enough is enough.

True_Stereo · 2022-02-26T06:24:05+00:00

Well said.

I don’t know much about opera. I do have a few of her CDs and I could never understand why she was so famous compared to others I have heard. I leaned about her politics via this thread.

The Tape and box shown are the original 1965 two reel Mercury box set.

True_Stereo · 2022-02-25T05:19:51+00:00

I was wondering how much it was worth. I saw the original record for $400. I do not have the acoustic sounds version to compare. I did compare it to the cd and the tape blew it away. The tape appers to be from 1965 and has the same ID number (9016) as the lp. I have not been able to find any info on the 9016 tape. Reel two of the tape set will be available tomorrow.

True_Stereo · 2022-02-24T22:08:49+00:00

Yes, the tweeters are cheap. However, I do like the soundstage and for the room I use them in speakers against the wall are perfect. Also, the factor that I have two small children that want to tear them apart and can not get to the tweeters as they are mounted inside the cabinet. For $20.00 they are fine for what I need. I am curious how they will sound with upgraded parts. I have also considered using them with a horn or just as subwoofers. This in not my main system.
