    I think that is the key, Phil, when you say you "never had anything go wrong". It's just that when it does "go wrong" customer service with Ubid sucks and you are left high n' dry. Not being able to get a replacement sucks (I realize this is stated somwhere on their site), just something you...

    Interesting. Well it looks like what you heard does, in fact, jive with what Jeff told me. You did ask about something i had wondered about - replacement parts, in case something does go wrong with the speaks. Feel free to e-mail me directly about any new info - look forward to hearing about...

    Yeah, I am sure I could touch it up. But, to be honest, I'm afraid of doing more harm than good. I'm much better at wiring and electronics than I am at woodworking and that ain't so hot either.

    Geoff, Not a bad idea, I am interested in what he may tell you. I'm hoping it's the same thing he told me or else I'll feel a little hosed. Although, I know these speakers have been sold for quite awhile, and it really wouldn't surprise me if they do not have any replacements. Still...

    Spoke with Jeff at IAG. He says they don't make the Emerald's anymore so he can't really help me out with an exact replacement. They are/were made to order for UBid/Amazon and they don't have any more in stock. He said a "sideways" exchange wouldn't really work either because the Emeralds are so...

    That is pretty much the line they gave me. But when you have an seemingly endless supply of these speakers, and few are selling, how can you not have any available for exchange? It makes no sense to me at all. Half of their auctions don't even make sense....wrong specs for products...

    ....dealing with UBid is no fun at all. Picked up a new pair of the Wharfedale Emerald 97 Mark IV's for 250-dollars including shipping. They sounded great right out of the box and are almost at their 50 hour break in period and keep sounding better. Trouble is one was damaged, cosmetic only...

    Is it Dumb?

    Is it a bad idea to hook up a passive sub-woofer and a powered sub to the same system? I hooked up a Sony SA-WM40 along with my passive Kenwood Sub. The sony is hooked up through the receivers pre-out and my front home theater speakers are running through the kenwood (they are small 4" main 1"...
