    WOW!!!

    I truly mean this with all sincerity, if I had not been laid off two weeks ago, I swear the 9800's would have been ordered the second I saw this post. Alas, my "upgrade" money is now "pay the mortgage" money until I'm working again. But this is a major value (at least I think it is -- don't know if there is a street price for these.) It would be phenomenal if someone here might just be able to score them.

    I just tried to add (2) of the 9800s to my shopping cart, it appears they only have (1) unit.

    Figures.

    I could add (2) 5800s.

    But the 880 Array center is just a little more $$ than the 800 Arrays, you could still have a dang fine L-C-R HT setup.

    I was just able to put two 9800SE's in my shopping cart. All the credit card information is entered and I'm fighting with myself over whether to push the "send" button. So...much...money

    Looks like I drew the short straw this time. Just received my 800 Arrays and both are damaged. The horns are broken right off the tops of the cabinets. The packaging is ridiculously inadequate. There's some superficial protection around the horns, but nothing to really support them and keep the cabinet mounting from seeing the force that UPS can apply.

    I'm doing the India to Tech Support indefinite hold now....

    Use 1-800-336-4525

    At least the indefinte hold will be on their dime.

    I sure hate to hear about your little 800's. Mine were really well packed, about like hwirt's K2s, sounds like they used standard Harman packing on yours.

    Yeah but there shouldn't be any short straws. I'm sick and tired of Harman's short straws. I'm sorry to hear that you are yet another victim.

    Feel free to post photos, alot of people won't believe it until they see it.

    This is why the packaging is inadequate. It's just superficial, no real support for the horn, and nothing to prevent the cabinet from taking the force should the package be dropped upside down:

    KCM, sorry to see your speakers arrived damage. Hopefully the problem will be corrected quickly. Seeing those beautiful speakers like that is just awful, I thought the horns were shipped detached and had to be assembled. Guess that's not the case.
