Brutal warnings

13th December 2009 by Paul Waddington

“Fragile – handle with care”… Does anyone ever take any notice when that’s printed on the box ? Seems like some manufacturers have realised that language needs to be more hard-hitting to get results. Monitor Audio‘s speaker boxes sport the jarring warning “Useless if dropped”. You can’t get much more unequivocal than that. Made me think, especially having spent a few quid on the contents.
