Yes, I can return them but I just found out that it's going to cost me $385.00 EACH to ship them back. So, they originally cost me $3000 and if it costs them $385 each to ship to me then in reality they really only cost about $2400 + shipping. So, think about what you get for $2400 and certainly not a 10 or 30 thousand dollar speakers like the reviewers would have you believe. Not much plus the additional rudeness from the service. You can bet that I'll be putting a video up on YouTube.

Sorry, Phil, but I'm not understanding: you don't like the speakers and have bought replacements, but aren't going to send them back even though you will net over$2K? Sounds like you are "letting your money make you mad", as the saying goes.

Or see if you can find a local or driving distance away buyer.

Not trying to comment to you, but just a general comment: I'd never buy speakers over about $500 or so a pair that I didn't hear first (unless it was an upgrade in the same speaker line).
Reviews are for helping to create a list of speakers to audition, IMO.

Reaction to speakers is very personal. One man's poison is a another's favorite drink. So I'd either buy something sold locally after audition or if the speaker was really expensive, travel to audition it. That's what I did before I bought my last pair. Better to spend the amount it costs to ship them than to get stuck dealing with speakers you don't like.

One thing audio forums are good for: finding someone who owns the equipment you are interested in. Most serious audiophiles would be more than happy to let an interested party hear their equipment.
