Oy! And should I assume the redesigned driver will sound different from the original driver still in the other speaker of your Utopia Gem stereo pair?
Revel Utopia speaker delamination
I am just curious how common this defect is. I own a pair of revel Utopia Gems and one of the woofers has had the surround separate/delaminate from the basket. After searching the web I have found other instances of this defect occurring. I contacted Revel and they admitted that this happens to the Gem woofer, Salon mid, and also the Voice mid. I am told by Revel that this cannot be repaired and the driver must be replaced. There are no original drivers available but a new driver with redesigned basket is available for $635.37!!! or $908.93 in Canada!!!
I realize that this is an older model but come on it's not that old, plus it was their flagship speaker line and priced accordingly. This is a factory/design defect that may or may not effect the other 3 woofers. Buyer beware if you are considering a Revel Utopia speaker purchase.
