Many good advices here as always.
Jean Luc will read all this and will decide by himself what to do. I regret very much for him that he did not ask me where to buy such things in the US...

I think that calling MSS HIFI ( wow, I did not know the guy was only 29 ! I would not buy anything serious from such a young person ) and asking what's happening would be the first step. Jean Luc will have to ask for the serial numbers to check with the McIntosh factory if they are there. I suppose that this kind of service is not a priority at McIntosh so it could explain the delay...
If the guy is not able to give those numbers, I would first call the police to see if they can go see him or if they don't care, and then a civil action will come last. Unless MSS HIFI would be in bankrupt, I'm sure that Jean Luc will recover his money : USA is not exactly Ethiopia !
And Dan, I agree with you. Things were simpler in the old times of Far West !

Jérôme.......Look again at the date of this article. Johnny the thief was 29 in 2003.

Too bad Jean Luc is not "connected" in New York. He could send a couple enforcers over to MSS HIFI, pick up the amps, and break Johnny's knee caps while they're there just for the fun of it. That way Johnny would remember not to screw with Jean Luc.
