Altec Lansing inMotion® iM4 2 Speakers

I have purchsed 2 of these, one for work - one for home. The sound could be better but then the speakers are only so big to begin with and since obviously, I can't blast them at work the sound quality at high volume wasn't much of an issue. But yeah, the price could've been lower. Anyway.... I've had my first set for a year this week and it died last week without so much as a fizzle. I turned it on and there was silence. I contacted Altec Lansing who tried to push me around from customer support person to another person, it was funny how I got sent back to the first support person who seemed annoyed at this. Nonetheless, he issued me a RMA good for 30 days to return them for whatever theyre gonna do, fix them or send most likely refurbished instead of new. MUST have receipt for warranty work.
