Let me tell you a story...
So today, the UPS truck pulled up. The nice men dropped off two boxes of goods just for me. I was happy.
I was even happier when I noticed that the boxes were in very good condition, especially for UPS. I didn't see any grievous box damage, so I accepted my new toys with glee.
I took the boxes downstairs, and proceeded to open them. I am being completely honest when this is what happened... I thought to myself, "Wow, these boxes are looking really clean, usually UPS beats on them more. This is great!"
Then I pulled a speaker out....
(((THUNK))) (((Clack)))
WTF WAS THAT! I screamed in my head.
Well...this is what it was....

Luckily, pair #2 looks fine (look new to me, actually). And I'm calling Dave as I type
