A while ago i had a pair of BM5A MKII up for sale on here, they were pretty much as new with about 50 or so hours on them.
For whatever reason they never sold, so they've sat in their box until just before Christmas when i got them out and started to use them for editing (instead of headphones i normally use).
Unfortunately after they'd been on for about 8 or so hours one of the monitors stopped working, no lights on the front. I found that it had blown the fuse, so i swapped it out for the fuse from the other monitor and it blew that fuse instantly too.
So it went back to the retailer (it arrived safely packaged with the original packing) who diagnosed it had a blow transformer, not uncommon it would seem).
They then sent it back to the appointed agent for Dynaudio repairs, about two weeks later the monitor arrived back with me from Dynaudio, i was shocked to find that they hadn't used any of the original packaging but just wrapped it in two layers of thin bubble wrap and hoped for the best! what went as a pristine monitor came back as this...
