    Default 340SE or not?

    Hello,

    I purchased a set of previously owned 340's across the front and htm-200's for rears. They are suppose to be 3 months old. I noticed that the 340's have these vertical or horizontal lines that go over the tweeter. I am assuming it is there to know the orientation of when you set them up but the pictures on the website don't have them. Mine also don't have the signature edition sticks on the back like pictures on the site. How do i know for sure if they are signature or not?

    That "line" over the tweeter is a dispurtion lens. Those were on the "classics". The SE's do not have that.

    It looks as though you have classics.

    To be sure, do you have a picture you can show us?

    They are Classics. If the seller represented them to you as SE's then I could understand your dissapointment, BUT, the Classic's are absolutely fantastic speakers in every way. If you got a good deal on them then relax and enjoy the music.

    How different sounding are the classics from the SE's.

    I will be using them for movies with a subwoofer (svs 2039PC+).

    DaveF has a good description when he announced the SE's:

    With movies and a good sub.....you will be very happy and hard pressed to notice differences.
