    taminh32,

    I am sorry to see this.

    We don't know who you are and haven't received any emails or phone calls from you. Please send me an email so we can discuss... A tear like that is either caused from amplifier clipping or too much power but we can't assist you until you contact us.

    thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure what would have caused this.

    Consider upgrading to the towers, they handle much more power.

    Give Dave a call or email. one of the best things about this company
    other than the great speakers is he will give you honest advice. I did not
    do that at first and wasted money and hassle for Ascend and myself, after
    consulting with Dave I got the right speakers and have been extremely happy since.
