This is very disappointing, we keep hearing more and more about these issues. I am almost thinking that with out the FO around they are not watching as closely as before.

Sorry for your trouble. Like I said many times, good sound is the most important but at this price, the customer also wants good finish and good service. The QC really needs to smarten up cause we are seeing more and more of these and in the long term, it's enough for a company to loose the confidence of their customers IMO. This is your second set, it should have been carefully inspected.

What are people's thoughts on the first one, with the slight mismatch. I'm worried I'm being overly picky, as it's not that bad. I could probably live with it, it's just not perfect.

I would still consider the first speaker B-Stock - a good quality B-Stock. The problem with that corner is that it increases the probabilty of the vinyl to peel over time in that area and perhaps get worse than it is now.

We haven't had a meeting for over a year, so I'd say that the customer council no longer exists.

Just to clarify something a little here re. "seams"....the speakers cabinets have two different types of seams. Remember that the mdf comes with the vinyl already attached to it, the flat panel is then v-cut almost* through the mdf to the vinyl side per spec, then the whole cut out is 'folded' and glued into a cabinet. So basically you'll end up with a seamless join where the mdf is folded over and then a non seamless join where the next panel joins it. The first two pictures wouldn't concern me, the next two perhaps a little, the last one to me is a bit more of a concern. This is where the mdf was foled over and should be seamless, but it looks like the mdf wasn't quite folded cleanly in that last pick. It's not really a bubble in the vinyl per say although it looks like it. Anyway, I hope you get this resolved...they are excellent sounding surround speakers.

I guess my concerns are that I'm shelling out money for something with flaws. I expect a product to look perfect unless I'm knowingly buying b stock. I've pretty much decided I will keep the one with the slight mismatch. While there is a risk of the veneer peeling, I'm hoping it wont happen as its going to be hanging on the wall untouched.
