Heard a loud crash in the middle of the night; spent 15 minutes looking around and couldn't find anything. Woke up this morning and found one of the Sierra's had fallen out of it's wall mount.

After doing a sound test it seems quieter the difference could be physiological. What would be the best way to do a real test?

That's a bummer :eek: I thought I felt a disturbance in the force last night, but I attributed it to kids getting ready to go back to school.

I suppose it would take an spl meter to know for sure about the loudness, but my guess is that it's fine.

eeek... I wouldn't be able to live with that... I'd be hitting up dave begging him to sell me a new enclosure (I suppose the tweeter could be damaged, but I highly doubt anything would possibly be wrong with the woofer or crossover if it was only 5ft)

SPL meter is the answer to testing. However, I doubt that there was any component damage. Have you beefed up the wall mount on the other one??
This could give you justification to order a pair of Towers.:D

Talked to Dina today. She's going to get a quote on a new cabinet.
I might just take a Sharpie to it and relegate it to the rear of my 7.1 setup. :p

DUDE, I am so sorry. Totally MY fault...I was watching LOTR: The Fellowship last night with the volume maxed (Dual D15SE's)...so sorry about that...

Bummer!

Weird damage... Did you have the speakers sitting upside down? Looks like the front top right and left corners have been damaged, as well as the rear top corner... Quite a tumble that must have been... Poor little guy :(
