Ultimate Ears was a company vary focused on audiophile gear but ever since the Logitech acquisition in 2008, that focus doesn't seem as narrow. They've been steered towards more of a mainstream consumer arena, basically Logitech's core audience. I can't really blame them, they're a business after all but I'm just watching yet another brand get diluted into a shadow of its former self.
Anyway, I went ahead and ordered a pair. I'm fully prepared to be disappointed and return it but hopefully I won't get a lemon. I wish I had a Costco membership though. I'd feel much better with their forever warranty since one of the things I'm very worried about with these speakers is longevity.
if jolting the system with each power on is damaging, that would explain the negative about longevity. users are doing it anyways (for various reasons) instead of just leaving it on 24/7, causing their unit to fail quicker, in years instead of decades. with a 1 yr warranty and it mostly happening outside of that period, I guess whatever flaw is causing it won't be taken serious enough for a redesign.

The volume knob starts off by causing a scratchy sound through the speakers before beginning to disconnect, effectively disabling the other speaker, then eventually degrades further, causing loss of signal to both.
Lubricating the knob helps, but only for a few months. Buyer beware.
Anyone have good look hooking these up to a Samsung LCD TV? I don't think it has a 3.5mm port, just AV in and Optical.

Ya, power switch... it turns on and off automatically but if 10w draw is a problem, get a surge pro with a switch on it.
I spent more than this to repair my amp after the surge damage 10 years ago. Seriously considering buying another set as a spare... but I have too much extra junk already in my spare closet.
Like others have mentioned, the sudden price drops make me wonder what is up. These things were $149-199 forever. Now this year they are on sale everywhere. New model coming out maybe? This design is 20+ years old so maybe it's time for a refresh with bluetooth? I don't know anything, just thinking out loud

This overemphasis of mid-treble commonly occurs in Klipsch soundbars according to Rtings:
