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.

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?

Cone
The cone of a loudspeaker driver refers to the diaphragm or membrane that moves air to produce sound. A cone is distinguished from a dome in that it is almost always a concave shape. It is a crucial component responsible for converting electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, resulting in the creation of sound waves. The cone typically consists of several layers and materials, each serving a specific purpose.- Cone Material:

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...
