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.

One of my Audiovector R6 Arreté fell down to the ground.

As a result : cracks and bumps on the cabinet.

I have been looking for repair shop without much success.

Furniture repair shop and piano repair shop are the ones to look for.

Some shop are willing to repair my speaker . The issue here is the black piano lacquer . What kind of lacker finish ? Or is it synthetic finish , which requires special equipment and expertise .

I am waiting for Audiovector manufecturer answer , about the finish .

The manufecturer and dealers could not help me . They do not know anybody doing cabinet repairs . Audiovector do not sell cabinet only .

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

A stupid accident. Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium ......

Speakers are less stables

I have hated myself for weeks . And still do once in a while.

 

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.
