"Another one bites the dust"...

Take 'em back but open box sales sometimes have diff conditions of purchase.

At least he'll know the best way to sort, or replace them. Might even give you a deal on a better set ........might not though ! 

If I played early Madonna through my system, I'd full expect it to commit Hari Kari..... Either that or they'd get up off their stands and beat me to death.........And I'd deserve it....

I don't think it's your fault. There's probably something loose inside (the spider or something). Unless the store warned you there is no warranty, they should take care of this. After all, once they confirm this failure was not due to misuse, Mission will send them the spare parts for free.

Thanks alot everyone! I'm going to take them back tommorrow and ask for them to be repaired.

Nothing wrong with a lil' bit o' early Madonna!

In the mean time, I thought I would try something a bit different; I connected my parent's little micro-JVC to my vintage JVC amp with some JVC speakers and then used the built in SEA EQ on my vintage JVC amp to keep a balanced and neutral frequency response in the dining room. The result is seriously impressive!

My understanding is how long have you had them is a factor in your favour. If less less than 6 months then the law assumes the fault was present in the goods at purchase. If longer then I am sure you can claim that the seller has an obligation to supply goods that are fit for purpose. If they blew under normal listening conditions, then they are not fit for purpose.

The seller may insist that you have to go to Mission. This is normally utter rot. Your contract is with the seller, not Mission, and he has to return them to manufacturer, and absorb courier charges.

I bought a garmin sat nav unit which went wrong after 3 weeks. The vendor told me to go to garmin. When I said my purchase contract was with him and not garmin, a new unit came in a couple of days.

If the dealer is not helpful, ring Trading Standards for advice. Household insurers often provide a legal advice line, so this may be an option.

I would have said I have had them for only 3 months! I doubt he'll complain; I've spent over £2k there, so I'm sure he wants to keep me as a happy customer!

I find sales people and shop keepers can be very unpredictable when things go wrong. That said you are absolutely right. It is better to start of positively minded and expect the best result to start with, rather than think of worst case immediately.>>

I wish you the best, and hope you have a happy and satisfactory result.>>

My days, if the Missions going weren't enough, my other JVC amp is on its last legs! Now, after about an hour of being warm (more like boiling hot) the background noise increases significantly and makes a sound like a test tone on speakers (is it blue noise or something?) and then alot of distortion kicks in when music is played!

Is there anyone who can fix solid-state amps? It's all integrated circuitry aswell! I wouldn't like to see my JVC go, but I'm scared it might cause a fire or something as whenever I touch it (it's got a metal case), it pops from the static and sometimes the right channel stops and you have to bang the amp ontop for it to work again!

Im with Big Chris on this one.............playing early Madonna tut, tut, tut

May i suggest you bring them back to the dealer and Open Your Heart and Express Yourself, tell him you were just getting Into The Groove playing some Borderline  tunes.................

If that fails just take a Holiday....................

Hi

The information that you need to use is here.

please bear in mind that they may end up saying you damaged them by playing them too loud, although I think they would have to get an independent report to prove this.

sounds like its just a loose connection. Shouldn't cost much. Any friends good with stuff? a poke about with a dry wooden spoon usually finds the problem. Thats a job for someone who at least owns a soldering iron though. Its hardly safe.

Must be all that over-compressed music you like!
