for the Pacific Pi40I WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT THESE WERE BRITISH MADE SPEAKERS, NOT THE CASE, THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA. I TOOK THEM BACK AFTER TWO DAYS OF USE. I WISH THEY SOUND AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK. THEY DIDN'T SOUND BAD AT LOWER POWER LEVELS, BUT THEY BROKE UP BAD AT HIGHER, NOT UNREASONABLE, POWER LEVELS. THE MIDRANGE HONKED, DROWNED OUT THE BASS AND HIGHS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO NEEDING BROKE IN, HOWEVER, THE CONDITION WAS STIL PRESENT AFTER EIGHT HOURS OF BREAK IN TIME. DURING AN EXPLOSION WHILE WATCHING A MOVIE, ONE OF THE WOOFERS VOICE COIL WAS SLAPPING THE MAGNET. THE SPEAKER WAS DESTROYED. I REMOVED THE WOOFER TO CHECK IT OUT. THE BASKET AND MAGNET ASSEMBLY WERE VERRY CHINCEY LOOKING. LUCKY FOR ME MY DEALER TOOK THEM BACK AND LET ME EXCHANGE THEM FOR A DIFFERENT PRODUCT, WHARFEDALES WEB SITE OR BROSCHURES DON'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A WARRANTY, SOMETHING I DIDN'T CHECK ON BEFORE I PURCHASED.
