Squashed(?) LRS

Hi folks,

I took delivery of my new Magnepan LRS today and noticed that one of the speakers looks like something pressed the outer cloth into the panel on the front side.

The cloth is actually stuck to the ribbon behind.
About 2 - 3 inches in from the each of the edges is where the cloth is pressed flat against the ribbons.

Magnepan is closed for the weekend. I left messages with both Eric Norgaarden and the main number about this.

Should I not hook up and play them?
Worried about damage from the cloth being stuck over such a large area (~80%).

Thanks

It’s just the Grills touching the panels from packing and compression nothing
to be concerned.
if you allow things to get to room temperature it should relax . Put The bases on tweeters on outside and enjoy it will fix itself by the time you’ve read this you can try a hair dryer to warm the panel but don’t get too close and burn the grill.

I was a Magnepan dealer for many years.  That happens every once in  awhile.

The cloth just gets stuck to the panel.  Play the speaker and it should release after a short time.

@OP,
Both audioconnection (John Rutan) and mofimadness have given you great information. 
Trust it implicitly, and congrats on the new speakers.
