Oh, that sucks. I'm sure they will take care of you though. I've never had an issue with their customer service.

small update, had emo overnight the shipping box since previous owner didn't have it. just dropped off the amp to be overnighted back to them.

Spoke to polk, told them what I needed, asked me to email them the proof of purchase and give them my shipping info. just waiting to hear back from them

Looks like everything is going smoothly. You'll be back up and running in no time.

Been there , my first amp I ever had failed in the first week, I was not to happy. It worked out in the end, after the amp was serviced it was in use for over 8 years before I sold it.

Was on hold waiting for someone to answer at polk because I had not heard anything back yet and I got an email that the parts are on the way (I called them because they are only there when I am at work and I can only call during my lunch)

Amp arrived back at Emotiva today as well.

Should be up and running in no time


Edit: I will say to that so far both companies have been very helpful which is cool, refreshing to have companies with good customer service

Good for you! I'm glad both companies stepped up to the plate with your problem. There is no replacement for excellent customer service.

small update: polk didn't actually ship the replacement parts the day they said they did, they shipped a couple days later (finally got an email with the tracking which indicated it wasn't picked up till 2 days later)

Emotiva is working on the amp and so far can find no problem which makes me rather nervous because I had 2 other people who could distinctly smell the burning smell coming from that amp :/

also my exploded tweeter and crossover seem to indicate there was a problem

[BLindsay]

Hey all, this is probably a question really only for those familiar with the LSi series but her it goes.

I am trying to trace what actually died on the crossover and I am using my multimeter in short/open so it just makes a tone if there is a connection.

With one end of the multimeter In the negative speaker terminal I get a tone (indicating a connection) with the other end in
+w
-d2
-t

moving the multimeter to the positive speaker terminal I get a tone only on
-w


I started tracing it and confirmed the resistor along the tweeter is dead but it doesn't explain the other weird readings, or does it?


Hooked the multimeter up to each driver and the only one that doesn't give me a tone is the tweeter

[Silo5]

Just curious as to how things are going? Hopefully all is well.

UPA-1 has arrived back and they said they found nothing wrong. Havent tested it yet because the crossovers from my front 3 speakers are in the process of being upgraded as we speak

OK, so now we fast forward a few months. What happened?

no clue, amp arrived back and they said nothing was wrong but I just ended up sending out my front 3 crossovers and had them upgraded. polk replaced the tweeter under warranty and I upgraded the woofers as well. been working fine since then

That's weird. But glad everything worked out and continues to go well. I was curious about the burning smell and would have bet a buck that something had fried.
