Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect

Does anyone have experience with a Revel Performa 3 cabinet failure?  Specifically, F208 with fine, almost hairline width, vertical crack in the rear, from the very top (where the finished cabinet mates to the decorative black top cover), going vertically down almost to the crossover/input panel?  Again, the "crack" is hairline in width.  There are no signs of impact whatsover elsewhere on the cabinet.  Possibly a shrinkage issue if they were exposed to very cold ambient conditions in shipping and/or storage?  Dunno.  Just searching for anyone who's hade a similar experience.

That must have been heartbreaking. Most folks can’t go out and just buy another one at that price.

Have a cabinet shop do the repair and refinish in what they feel will be closest option. It won’t matter. The main thing is the color.

Your dealer should-have sent you a label to have  them picked up ,

and replaced them.That is not a good dealer.

I had a pair (F208) just shipped off to TMR as a trade deal for a pair of Cantons. But they were perfect from day 1. No such hairline cracks on mine. They have a very thick high gloss finish. My guess is it’s the finish vs the wood.
