I finally got my speakers. Dear god, it was complicated. The first time I tried to order them from New Egg, there was massive failure for me not being home during regular business hours. I had to call UPS and New Egg, and in the end they weren't able to redeliver.
The second time I figured I'd order it on Tuesday, so it'd get here on Thursday (the only day I'm home). New Egg is basically stationed in California, and this time there was massive failing again because they shipped all the way from Tennesee and my package didn't get here until Monday, which was funny because by then I was at the Society for Neuroscience conference and wasn't due home until late Wednesday night. I called UPS up from the conference, had them deliver it on Thursday to me.
And instead of delivering it to me, they returned it to the shipper.
THOSE BASTARDS.
So yesterday I finally just plain fucking broke down and bought them from Best Buy. For $30 more but the peace of mind of actually finally having decent speakers is worth it.
Note that this entire thing would never have happened if UPS hadn't broken my speakers in the first place when shipping them. :(
And now I think my center channel is busted. Not sure. *sigh*
