In the Event of a Problem

In the unlikely event of a problem with your Avalon Acoustics loudspeakers, the component most susceptible to failure is one of the driver units. If driver replacement is required, have your dealer contact Avalon Acoustics. The performance curves of the drivers in each pair of loudspeakers are kept on file at the factory. This enables Avalon Acoustics to supply an exact replacement unit, ensuring continued operation at the highest level of performance. The defective driver must then be returned to the factory for inspection to determine the status of the warranty claim. This on-site replacement of the driver units eliminates the time and expense of shipping the entire speaker to the factory for repair. All warranty claims must be

made through an authorized Avalon Acoustics dealer or distributor.
