Hi Guys,

Interesting thread.

Dorwin, I'm sorry about your problems with the 17LS (both out of genuine altruistic sympathy and out of selfish fear of a similar relationship)!

I emailed CJ yesterday, and a service rep, Jeff, already called me today. His initial recommendations for me are as follows:

1. Test the KLF 20s to see if they are in fact blown by hooking them up to the Rotel amp. He suspects they may be fine.

2. Check the rail fuses on the MF2250 power amp, which are customer accessible on the back of the unit. He suspects they have blown and are causing the speakers to sound as though they were blown.

3. Check the 17LS for any harm/malfunction.

4. Figure out what happened to try to avoid a repeat.

A service tech from Spearit Sound, my dealer in Brookline, MA, is coming by my apartment tomorrow -- nice service. So I'll see what he finds and report to you.

Dorwin -- I think eagle1's suggestion of calling or emailing CJ is a good idea. They may have some suggestions, and your unit may have some malfunction or defect they could address.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I'll keep you posted.
