It is a limited edition, this one does not growl. You will probably be able to find the box on eBay.

I recently found boxes that do growl in a local mens store for $40. Thought I was saving $5 by getting these at amazon. Not the real thing though. Very expensive disappointment.

I ordered two boxes of this as a gag gift because of the first Q&A; listed on this seller's page and because it is advertised as growling. Now when I request a return, Amazon said it cannot be returned because it requires "special handling". I am hoping between Amazon and the seller this is remedied quickly since we spent more than $70 for a product not advertised accurately!!

No mine didn't come with a box. :( it's better that way though because they come with a graph for how much cubic feet of air will produce what sound. I made my boxes for right in between recommended and low. Sounded great!

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

D. Kaminsky, pls give us some details on the death of your SoundSticks II. As a current owner I'm very interested in knowing how helpful & co-operative H_K is in resolving your issue. I hope they deal with you fairly & quickly. Personally, I thought their website was a nightmare to negotiate.

I have not found anything new. I still use this box. No new damage to report but I don't trust it so I'm more careful with it than I want to be.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.

Nope, they can even growl without it going off. It is just the bark that sets it off.

I have this exact one and I can verify that MINE does not whistle! I love it anyway, but yes, you have to keep an eye on it!

Mine didn't either. � I gave up. my son threw away the box otherwise I would have returned it.

That box already has a 3.5 kHz crossover to keep the lows out of the tweeter. Maybe it has failed? How much power are you putting to it?

Should be on the box end, but not to worry - they stopped making it. You can't get it any longer.

It has been fixed. I have purchased a box myself. Besides, like stated before even if it does happen again Amazon is very very good about fixing problems like this without you even having to talk to the seller.

Alas! It does not have the original music box sound. The new version makes annoying electronic music. I dug out my kids' old 1970's version and rehabed it for my grand kids and gave away the new one to toys for TOTs.

Not here. Does it keep humming ? You might want to return it. You could also look at your settings and make sure sound is low when you turn it on. One thing I learned is the little beast can only get so loud before it gets distorted. Keep it as a level that it sound good.
