Surge protector
OP: If it were me, I’d 100% ask if they can repair just the amps. 😂  The amp is going to be a lot lighter and smaller than the whole speaker. If you feel comfortable with a screwdriver you should be able to remove the sub amp and ship that alone...

Isn’t that what the fuse is for? @12blistn Checking the fuses is a great first step, but they aren’t really for protecting against incoming voltage surges. They are for protecting from shorts inside the gear. A damaging surge voltage may be 40... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!

Dedicated mains supply unexpected result
I assume that the work done was more than just a wire replacement but that you also had a new panel installed? Get something like the Quille plug in voltage tester (9 pounds) on Amazon and watch it while playing music.  Pay attention to the Neutr...

This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces
If they make blackout curtains with this tech I'm totally in.  
Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms?
I’m going to trust in my Furman, APC and Tripp Lite gear to seem me through this storm too.  As I pointed out in another thread, a CNN weather reporter was recommending we all disconnect our dryers.  Of all the pieces of gear in his home this is ...

@jea48 - Furman with SMP will protect in both cases you mentioned. It uses series mode protection (SMP) which has no activation time. My understanding is that they rate surge protectors for 5kV surges specifically because the expectation is that ... 
Hsu has custom high pass filters
To the point of slopes, I think THX had the best idea when they attempted to use the speakers + active crossovers to achieve Linkwitz-Riley 4th order filters.  The idea is that the sealed satellite speaker, crossed at 80 Hz would naturally produce... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
So, to all of you who plug your amps straight into the wall without using protection like your daddy told you to, let's see how we all fair on the other side of this. :)

@ghdprentice  I'm going to try to put my binoculars and solar filters together tomorrow and take a close look!
