Hi all,
I'm in a bit of a pickle and would like some advice or thoughts on what to do for the best.
I bought a pair of Monitor Audio radius 270's from a chap on ebay after having a look on Ma's Uk website and measuring up. The speakers arrived and I was a bit concerned about the box size, huge! The speakers look fine and dandy, though I can't test them yet as I'm still pondering which amp to get.
My fears were realized when upon unpacking them I found they would not fit by the side of my cabinet (it's the only place I can put them) they need to be about an inch slimmer. After re-checking the website I found that the dimensions stated are way out, 12 inches taller than specified and about two inches wider etc!
After a couple of emails to Monitor Audio the nice lady has said the only thing they can do to help as a goodwill gesture would be to replace them with two R225's (old version as far as I can tell).
So my options seen to be replace them with smaller (not as good?) speakers, buy a smaller cabinet for my gear or attempt to raise the speakers above the skirting board so they rest on that, though I'm not sure there would still be enough room...
They are the piano black one's (none HD) by the way.
The specs are still wrong on the site.
Any advice/thoughts appreciated,
Al
