No lighty.<\/p>\n<p>I had the option of getting an exchange or refund. However, it seems like Amazon&#8217;s exchange means you just buy a duplicate item and send back the defective one. It seemed like I&#8217;d be responsible for the shipping charges. The alternative, simply returning for a refund, meant that they&#8217;d pay shipping charges.<\/p>\n<p>Returning was very easy: since I still had all the packaging and shipping box from the item, I printed out the UPS slip. put the RMA in the box, taped it up, and took it to a UPS store. At the same time, I ordered a new one, because I really want those speakers (provided they work).<\/p>\n<p>The first set took a month to get here. This second set says it&#8217;ll ship on the 23rd. I&#8217;m really hoping that they&#8217;re not waiting for me to return the defective pair so they can just ship it back to me.<\/p>\n<p>Wonder of wonders. I also found out today that a replacement for a defective 1 TB hitachi drive has been shipped today.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=obsecompthind-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B002F9NBIM\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>I need to remember around Christmas time that when I buy all this tech crap, I only end up sending a good chunk of it back mid-winter.
