Wow your luck just hasnt run out has it. I really feel for you. In my opinion the 645 is a nice trade but with all the hassle you have been through it seems like they would do more than that. The whole thing has really been a mess from the beginning and I know at the business where I work...mistakes happen but when they do the customer is well taken care of. Above and beyond "a fair trade" Keep us posted and let them know your sharing with us. Best wishes!

if that's an upgrade, I say take it. my guess is it's the most you're going to get out of them.

Finally, case closed. Got a final replacement that is not bent. They claim to have issues with shipping damage. Funny how the damage is always in the exact same spot. Now back to enjoying my HT and great Aperion speakers!
