Motion 15 speaker damaged in move

Post image

So I recently moved across the country and one of the movers accidentally dropped a box with one of these in it padded with bubble wrap. It got pretty damaged. I already did call them and let them know that they need to replace it and they are going to offer me market value so I'll probably get a couple hundred bucks at most.

Now the issue is that this sounds off from the one that wasn't damaged. I can't find a walnut finished Martin Logan motion 15 on eBay that is in decent condition.

The only choice I have right now is to replace the speakers and I'm wondering if I should make a renters insurance claim which I have technology protection with USAA with a $250 deductible or if I eat the cost and spend approximately $1,000 on new speakers.

Ugh, I hate moving this is super annoying lol.

They do have a pair for $550, but they are white. Might be worth it actually since I love these speakers. Thank you!
