YOU SUCK

LOL that bulk is bigger than the car!

Is this B-Stock from home cinema store?

Those amps would have mega packing around it foam and cardboard I mean who has been chewing on the binding posts a dog!?

I wonder how fast the forklift was going when it ran into the wall with your pallet?



Of course we're assuming it left JBL in perfect condition.

Or where did it come from?

Yes, this is just one of those sh*ty things that can happen. Obiviously someone dropped the pile somewhere...

UPS has an ad campaign in the US
"Ask what Brown can do for you" - playing off the fact that the trucks and uniforms are brown ...

Its not like the ads from "The Groove Tube" (or was that "Kentucky Fried Movie") about "Brown 25 - another fine product from Uranus Corporation"
with visuals you don't even need to imagine ...

I don't have a good shot of it, but this picture shows it. Look at the gold RCA inputs at the top. The closest one on the right still has the washer and nut on it. The other four were pushed in by the impact and the nuts were stripped right off the shafts.

Actually it went from JBL Professional in Northridge CA to a Synthesis® dealer in the midwest who shipped it back to me in SoCal. Now to be clear it wasn't quite as goofy as it sounds. The dealer ordered and had it long before I bought it.

hope thy have it in stock

have you opened all your stuff to check it

imagine what a impact like this do to a horn

Yes, BSS Audio is a Harman International company. It's based in the US in Sandy, Utah. The SDEC4000 units both have "Made In USA" on them, so I'm sure you're correct.

That's a clear advantage for JBL being in the Harman family. The Synthesis® line benefits from Lexicon and BSS Audio, the EON line benefits from AKG, Soundcraft, and Crown, the Performance Series gets Lexicon electronics, etc.

Well after being in the freight tranportation bizz for the last 20 plus years I can say this.

Only Groceries should be stacked that high on a pallet.

Second, whoever stacked the boxes seemed to think having the boxes overhang the pallet was no problem, Wrong.

If the boxes were located within the pallet, they most likly would of made the trip unharmed.
