Tyle rAcoustics packaging & shipping damage

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

My Tyler Acoustics Signature monitors arrived with a broken crossover board which caused a shiot circuit causing one tweeter to at first sound bright then when turned up as the speakers broke I nthe tweeter deveoped a very raged audibile distortion when the speaker was turned up. I sent both speakers back as I wanted the tweeter fixed & both speakers ugraded with Cardas copper binding posts.Ty, fixed the crossover said the tweeter (which I gather along with thier magnesium bass drivers are quite hardy with the upgrade via UPS although I asked him to send the FedEx since they handle freight much more gently with far few transfers .I live in Canada & already the speakers have switched trucks 3 times .I worry about these heavy speaker in those boxes with only a Styrofoam cap on each end.
My question is given the heavy speakers & longer transit distance, have folks had trouble with breakage on thier sig monitors? I also worry about loose components due to being dropped or tossed around too much. I live in Canada which is 6 day ground business days from Kentucky & can ill afford to have damaged speakers arrive again. How do folks find the packing materials on these speakers?I wish I had paid for airfreight now as they would have arrived being handled only a couple of times.
Again what experience have Tyler owners had with say across country shipping?
Thanks
Bill
