I did earlier this afternoonSmile

rambo.estrada - 2008-02-26 16:01

Thanks for the heads up!! I just ordered mine. Hope it has a voltage selector!! When I checked out there were no shipping charges to New Zealand!! Surely that's a mistake?? Free international shipping!!??

panasonic.fan - 2008-02-26 16:02

Nice NON-SECURE ORDER FORM.....

Very unprofessional.


Roll Eyes



You can call them and place the order over the phone if you are concerned about this (and you should be). It is inexcusable in this day and age for a company not to provide a secure method of purchase if they are going to sell products online.


The only reason there can is that they are simply too cheap to spend the money with Verisign, Thawte, etc.

The guy that answered the phone said that black is the only color for this. The white one for CES was a one off for the event.

Looks like someone glued an ipod in the center. Frown

appleknocker - 2008-02-26 16:23

I can't find a phone number? Does anyone know where it is?

peter.griffin - 2008-02-26 16:35

Hey Rambo, I got this email from lasonic, you'll probably get yours soon.

For International buyer, there are terms and conditions to proceed the order properly as follows :



1. All sales are final

2. The unit is sale AS IS.

3. Customer will pay for shipping fee (s). The shipping fee will be informed later.

4. Customer will pay any additional fee(s) might be occurred during and after shipment.

Like no warranty? NonSecure way of paying? Hidden shipping fees? Sounds like ebay. This is getting stranger as we go. Thanks for the 411 Jens and PanFan. Much appreciated.

panasonic.fan - 2008-02-26 17:04

It has a 1 yr parts, 90 days labor warranty. Pretty standard, I wouldn't expect a company like Lasonic to do a year on labor.

driptip - 2008-02-26 17:05

i am not touching that thing, ill wait till i find them at the flea market for 10 dollars.

I Agree

fatdog - 2008-02-26 19:31

Full-range speakers?! Confused A boombox without tweeters sucks sweaty @$$. Nod Yes Laugh Out Loud

peter.griffin - 2008-02-26 19:54

Hey Fuzz, that was the email I got from them for "international" orders. I think your ok cause your in the States.

pepino - 2008-02-26 19:56

well, i went for it .mine is on its way.

masterblaster84 - 2008-02-26 20:25

No Tweeters? Frown
I can't wait for someone to give us a real boombox pro opinion. Nod Yes

ned.209 - 2008-02-26 20:47

I suppose, if you think about it, this is a big day for this forum Smile yaaah!

jovie - 2008-02-26 22:25

Are you sure it has no tweets?Maybe 12wX2 merely refers to the left/right channels.If tweeter-less,this suggests it's not a high performance box.The price is slightly disappointing.I don't know if I would spend that much money for a unit with single full range drivers.You could get a decent oldschool box with proper highs for that kind of money.This is beginning to look like it's a novelty item.It's also curious that there's no listed insert options.If it turns out to be fairly loud,I will probably get one though.If we support this release,maybe Lasonic will ramp things up a bit for a version 2 release if this one falls a bit short.

thafuzz - 2008-02-26 22:37

I'm sure one of us will mod that box with better speakers (if tweeterless) once the warranty expires. Carvin, you can use my address for warranty purposes once you receive it. Wink If enough people DO suppport it and prove there's a market for it, maye they'll bust out the "i975" Nod Yes

redbenjoe - 2008-02-26 23:13

to just me - it looks like a cartoon --

but i hope its great and that all you members who get it---love it

joe.cool - 2008-02-27 05:40

This would be a great bbx for a mod project...yup, rip out the iPod dock thingy, and retrofit a tapedeck! Why not? the opposite has been done before... Wink Big Grin

I Agree

peter.griffin - 2008-02-27 07:28

Cool, thanks for the offer Fuzz. I replied to the sales guys, "if it has a woofer and tweeter, process my order, if it's full range, cancel"Smile

enskanker - 2008-02-27 07:33

Dis ist awl zso confusink, ja?

joe.cool - 2008-02-27 07:52

Not really UE...they blew it (big time) IMO!

peter.griffin - 2008-02-27 08:01

Wonder if it will even have line-in/out?

masterblaster84 - 2008-02-27 08:07

Peter, those are some of the questions I would like answered before I lay down $240 to have one shipped to me.

Are the drivers full range or does it have tweeters?
Does it have line in/line out connections?

I'm sure there are more concerns but those are the two that stick in my head.

charlesdickens - 2008-02-27 08:23

The original 931 was listed as 12x2 as well.

peter.griffin - 2008-02-27 11:10

Lookie, they answered my questions.
Regarding your questions,

1. I931 has woofer and tweeter.

2. I931 has iPod AV out and Aux in. I am not sure if this is what you want.

Please let me know if you want keep this order or not.

Thank you

joe.cool - 2008-02-27 12:41

There will now be a moment of silence, please!

baby.boomer - 2008-02-27 13:06

There once was a box from Lasonic:
A legend, and no doubt iconic.
But tape deck it lacked;
The dial has been sacked.
I hope that it's stereophonic!
