Do not buy Monitor Audio from these sites:

• Top Choice Electronics
• Digital Craze
• Elistinka

These UNAUTHORIZED internet-only sellers of electronics often list Monitor Audio products on their websites.

They may use Monitor Audio product listings to lure customers and then attempt to switch them to other products.

They may bill your credit card at any given time within 36 months of your purchase. If they are unable to persuade the customer to buy something else, they will attempt to 'find' the requested product from an unknown source.

The 'Monitor Audio' products offered for sale on these websites may be stolen, used, damaged, remanufactured or counterfeit.

They may offer warranties for 2-3 years for up to $124.95 or more, yet they have no access to genuine Monitor Audio replacement parts. Authorized monitor Audio purchases carry a 5 year warranty (2 years for subwoofer amplifiers) at NO CHARGE.

They may apply excessive restocking fees for returned merchandise you are not satisfied with. These sellers do not possess comprehensive product knowledge or provide the quality customer service required of Authorized Monitor Audio Dealers.

Here are comments from customers who purchased from Digital Craze:

"The product I purchased was supposed to be new from the manufacturer and it was not, it was a refurbished unit and was even shipped directly from the company who did the refurbish work."

"Order was "back-ordered" several weeks and never received it. No communication with customers via telephone or email. Very rude when attempted to call them via phone. Would keep telling me 'another few weeks'."

"Total waste of time! I ordered a pair of speakers 3 weeks ago and they charged my account 6 days later even though the speakers had not, and still have not, shipped. Every time I called I was given a new ship date that never happened. I canceled my order today.

"This place is the BIGGEST scam on the internet! Sure, the prices look good when you see them, but more times than not they just list items they think they can get & then you have to wait till they order them from scratch."

"NEVER BUY HERE. PERIOD. They delivered a lesser model than was ordered, claimed it was the right model. It was previously opened and the serial number removed. They tell you not to fill out and mail the mfr warranty -- BECAUSE THEY ARE OFTEN DEALING IN GREY MARKET OR USED/REFURB GOODS."

"One of the most frustrating on-line ordering experiences I have had..."

"For me it's 5 weeks waiting for my products. I ordered the last week in November and STILL NOTHING. This site and this company the worst I've ever experienced in my over 10 years of online shopping. (THE WORST). All I can say is RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS SITE BUT RUN NOW. With your credit card staying in your wallet. You'll thank me later."
