So I'm very new to home theater. I'm 27 and just started purchasing my first components. I purchased a pair of CM1's to put up front. Well long story short, I was examining my speakers today and noticed a hole in one of the cones! Not sure what happened, in fact I'm a little baffled. My question is: Do I take the speakers back to the dealer as they are under warranty or do I attempt to fix them myself? I build stuff for a living so the actual job isn't intimidating. Voiding my warranty is. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Speaker is on it's way back to B & W and dealer told me they would be replacing the whole subwoofer! Side note; I found out how this happened. My wife's cousins had come over last week and I think you guys can figure out the rest.Comment

On the warranty card that came with my RDC-7 it's written that the warranty period for Integra Research receivers is 2 years parts and labor while for CD, DVD players and Plasma monitors it is 1 year parts and labor. No word on what the warranty for processors is. As far as I know Integra Research doesn't...16 February 2002, 20:01 Saturday -
Sorry if this topic has been discussed here -- please point me to it?
I'm asking about an age-old topic, but I am still trying to understand it. How does the cone material impact the sound, in general, for a midrange or midbass driver?

I'm planning to put an HT room in my basement. The area I want/need to put it in has a drain hole in the floor. The hole would be approximately behind the left front speaker. Not ideal, to say the least. In my 14 years in the house, nothing has come up from the hole. However, there are other parts... -
My first post to Club Halo/Parasound is to request some warranty feedback. I am considering purchasing a used (less than 1 year old) Halo A51 amplifier. It would replace an Aragon 8008 (running my front B&W 803's) and a Rotel 1075 (running my center HTM1 and rear 805's). My pre-pro is a Rotel...
