Ouch!
If you or anyone else ever has a driver failure do to workmanship or mechanical failure it is simply replaced without debate.
I have had to warranty very few drivers.
The only failures I have seen are as follows:
I have seen a few dust caps come loose (repairable). I have seen one wire lead get pulled loose from a woofer cone (It was being played to levels that went beyond its rated X-max). I have seen now two of our new M-130's have the spider come loose (also repairable). And some of our early woofers lost their motor structure from UPS damage (Their trucks can hit 140 degrees down here in the summer time, and the glue used to hold the motor structure to the polymer chassis would soften to the point that a few hard licks and it would let the motor structure go. It has 4 rivets through it too, but the polymer frame gets a little soft when heated up).
Good clean power is usually no problem either.
I have driven a pair of A/V-1+'s with 400 watt, Melos, tube, mono-blocks to levels that were almost unbearable with no problems at all.
I had a guy in Lawton, Oklahoma burn out the voice coils on both of his Paradox-1's when his small home theater receiver clipped hard.
Of coarse burned or open voice coils that are the result of misuse or abuse is not covered under warranty, and it is always an accident.
