Replacing Veneer on ProAc Speakers


Movers seriously gouged the veneer on the top of one of my rosewood ProAc Response 1S speakers. I think it's too deep to refinish. Any recommendations for someone who does speaker restoration? It makes me ill to look at those wonderful speakers in that condition.

I hesitated to post on this, because I have suffered damage to furniture and wall art from movers earlier on before I knew better, and I know how you must feel. The lesson I learned is that if you value the item, and it is fragile, move it to the new location in your own car. Movers have little respect for anything but saved time. Those speakers could easily have been put into your car. That said, I don't know what your moving situation was, so it may not apply.
Regarding the refinishing, I would check with a restorer. They can perform some miracles at times without refinishing the whole piece.
Buconero is right in my experience. You can try to get restitution from them, or take it to court which won't be worth it. Find a good restorer and save the aggravation. You may be surprised at what can be done for a reasonable price
