Hey Chuck, good to hear from you. An 18" addition to our Premium Series lineup has in fact been in the works for a few months now and will likely be making its debut in the winter season. Though all of the raw costs are not yet realized, I am doing everything I can to keep it as reasonable as possible. The plan at this point is to price it approximately 25% higher than our RL-p15, which I feel will preserve good value given its relative displacement advantage of over 40%. It won't be the sub $200 IB driver that I've been seeing people lust for, but it'll be a **** fine driver nonetheless. That's the only hinting I'll be doing for now though..
As a personal aside, you know that FedEx denied your claim a second time even
after they picked up the box that had repeatedly traversed the country, stating no visible damage to the box or speaker! My jaw dropped, as after receiving that notice in the mail, thirty minutes later the FedEx man shows up carrying the same driver, being returned to me in one of the most mangled boxes I've seen (which is no surprise after having been driven between California and Florida FOUR times)!
Well I finally got someone helpful on the phone and after re-sending all of the images and claim information, I am now awaiting the third response to your case. I swear, these shipping companies can be a real PITA if you don't stay on top of them! Just thought you might find that amusing.. as if a smile may be cracked through all the hassle, maybe it'll be worth it
