Maneles & Loudspeakers: Repair Refusal & Burning Case

Earning millions of dollars on YouTube

The 3rd District Court has pending civil case 31653/301/2024, with the object of claims, opened by the company SC Soundnet International SRL against SC Tzancă Uraganu SRL, whose next deadline is March 23, 2026.

Tzancă Uraganu was in the media’s attention for collecting millions of dollars a year from the YouTube platform, money that the manelist would collect partly through companies in Romania and partly through a company in Luxembourg, thus evading state taxes.

In September 2025, the manelist nonchalantly claimed that it was normal for him to hit a woman in order to “master” her:

• “I’m not a violent guy, but when a woman screams a lot, she has a fit of jealousy, maybe you give her another slap to wake her up, to control her. Or… I don’t know. Something like this still happens, but it doesn’t mean that I gave clubs, knives, punches, feet, to put my feet on her head… No, it was never like that. But one slap, two, one foot – something else you give to a woman (…)”, he declared the manelist.

On social media, the con artist poses with expensive cars or posts videos of himself waving wads of cash, which he boasts he “made” in one night at private parties.

• “Look how much money I made in one evening. I came home at 7:00 in the morning after four weddings. Look, take it from here until you no longer know about you. To the suckers!”, said Tzancă Uraganu in a recording from August 2024.

In the same month, SC Soundet International SRL repaired an audio system for Tzancă Uraganu, which the engineer picked up through intermediaries, then refused to pay.

The invoice submitted by the company in court includes the troubleshooting of an amplifier, the repair of some speakers and the delivery of tens of meters of audio cables.

In a message on WhatsApp sent by Tzancă Uraganu to the owner of the Soundnet International company – screenshots submitted to the file – the maneleist justifies his refusal to pay by the fact that “his station keeps burning”.

The owner of the company: “For him, 3,000 euros is money for biscuits”

The representative of Soundnet International SRL, Adrian Colita, told Libertatea what the dispute is with Tzancă Uraganu:

• “Tzancă has purchased very few things from us over time. He has bought all kinds of second-hand equipment from around England, even from an Arab country. I checked some series from a system of his that was about 16 years old and it still plays on that one. It came with it to the refurbished.
• At one point, before suing him, they came to us with a piece of equipment to be repaired. It was about some speakers where the diaphragms from the tweeters were burnt. He still had an amplifier in service for a few months, with a service receipt, the man who came with him picked it up for repair.
• All fiddlers know that the treble drivers on the speakers burn out when they play the music too loud. We used to sell about 1,000 diaphragms a year for these speakers. It’s played hellishly loud, with amps and mixers on red. There are also other causes: they are microphonic or there is another reaction like the microphonic from Zeta violins. Some fiddlers even change them twice a night. I advised him what to do to stop them burning, but he thought they burned because of me.
• On his speakers, one of the treble drivers was completely compromised, had fallen out, and had to be replaced entirely with a new one. This service bill contained four tweeter diaphragms, the amplifier repaired three months earlier that he had neither picked up nor paid for, some cables he needed to get the system working, and that driver from one of the tweeters. The total bill reached 16,000 lei. I did not charge him labor.
• He had also purchased two speakers from us, which he had paid through the bank, in three installmentsand after the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance I had no problem that he would not pay this bill.
• He sent the keyboard player with him, he stayed with us there for a few hours until the songs were changed. The man signed the receipt and told me to talk to Tzancă further, and he would pay the invoice. This was happening last year, in the summer.
• I sent him the invoice on Whats App, explicitly, with each item separately. Then he he started texting and voicemailing that he doesn’t think he should pay that bill because some people told him we didn’t redo his equipment and that’s why his tweeters burned out. But he had come with some second-hand equipment, because they had some stickers from a rental company in England. Seeing that he did not want to pay, I sued him. Here you can see the bad intention. Plus, immediately after receiving the bill, he posted insults to my address on Facebook.
• In the case of Tzancă, it is really embarrassing that we are judging ourselves for such an amount, which he does in a maximum of 5 minutes. He brags about cars worth hundreds of thousands of euros, for him 3,000 euros is money for biscuits. I can say that he performed at an event where several of our clients were present. He sang a half on the money he asked for there, 20,000-30,000 euros. He was asked to stay and continue to sing, and he said no, he had to go to Ploiesti. He was asked how much he was paid in Ploiesti and he said 12,000 euros for 45 minutes. They gave him 12,000 euros in cash to stay, and he gave the people from Ploiesti a stake and continued to sing. At their events tens of thousands of euros are collected per night, in rarer cases even hundreds of thousands of euros.
• In court, Tzancă’s lawyer presented a picture showing that the sponge from the suspension of a speaker is pinched, but the speakers are of the type he came with for repair, they are not the same. He came to repair with four pieces that were from a second-hand set from England, and he had bought two pieces from us a few months before, with an invoice, one sealed and one from the showroom. And I told him: they surrendered face to face with your man, if there was something he should have said then, on the spot. Or, at worst, when it got to you, the next day, but not after five weeks. I mean, he thinks he’ll win in court if he proves that, at some point, I sold him a speaker with a pinched sponge. I also told him to send it, that I will change the sponge, for free, so that he can be reconciled, although it has nothing to do with the speakers he sent to be repaired”, said the owner of the company.

The technician claims that the speakers have not been properly repaired

In court, the lawyer of the company SC Soundnet International SRL filed a response to the objection sent by SC Tzancă Uraganu SRL, in which the repairman claimed that the equipment had been improperly repaired:

• “The delivered products met the quality and compliance requirements, there were no apparent or hidden defects.
• All goods were sealed, being checked by the representative of the defendant-plaintiff before the time of their removal from the subscription, or if they had presented defects of any nature, then it is obvious that the opposing party would no longer have wanted to purchase these equipments, which did not happen.
• If, however, after picking up the goods, the adverse party has used them improperly – as even the representatives of the opposing side have communicated to us over time that it is being done on the side of the opposing side, in the sense that the music is frequently listened to much too loudly compared to the power of the speakers, which obviously contributes to the damage of them and the accessories – this is only the defendant-plaintiff’s fault and has nothing to do with the undersigned.
• Also, the poor storage conditions of such equipment is of overwhelming importance and obviously contributes to the deterioration of the sound quality produced by the equipment.
• Your Honor, please note that until the moment when the undersigned acted in court against the defendant-claimant, the latter did not send us any notification in which to state that the equipment delivered according to invoice no. 2263 dyn series dated 08/05/2024 would have been inappropriate, he did not ask us to replace the equipment or cancel the outstanding invoice, as he claims in this file, only to try to exonerate himself from paying it.
• Also, the opposing party did not dispute the outstanding invoiceas I have shown at length above.
• More, it is very likely that the delivered equipment will show a certain degree of wear, as a result of its use for 9 (nine) months by the defendant-complainant shock. Tzancă Uraganu SRL, respectively from the handover date of 27.05.2024 and until now.
• Thus, Honorable Court, in this case there is no question of engaging the contractual liability of our companybecause Soundnet International SRL has exactly executed its contractual obligations according to art. 1516 of the Civil Code, so he delivered the equipment to the opposing party, the receipt was confirmed by the representative of the opposing party by signing the proforma invoice (we submitted it to the file attached to our action), they complying with all legal standards of quality and compliance.
• That is why, in the case of our company, the conditions of contractual civil liability are not met”, said the lawyer of Soundnet International SRL.

The trial opened by SC Soundnet International SRL against Tzancă Uraganu is being debated on the merits at the 3rd District Court and has had six court dates so far.
