Where did you get them? If it bothers you return them get another set.
Poor quality control crooked driver
https://photos.app.goo.gl/dUEtMe39Sj3dnyh46 I have a mild OCD/quality control issue with my Klipsch R610f. The driver is not dead centered inside its beauty ring. Its sitting to the very left and bottom.
While very marginal and most people won’t notice it. But of course its bothering me....🤦🤦
My question is could this cause issues down the road?, should I just let go, or start a return? (bought them a week ago as a 5.1 bundle) All the other speakers sit perfectly centered around there rings. Thanks in advance

If I bought a new Jadis amp, and came with a scratch, would not bother me in the least I am after asethetics of actual sound perf, not asethetics in construction, Same here with the Klipsch woofer. It is perfornace which would either make me happy or grate on my nerves. Sure the off center framing would affect resale value. But at this stage in audio experience, we should all be purchasing lifetime til death do we part speakers. AS a matter of fact, next time i swap out power tubes in the Defy7, I suggested to Richard, lets install new pots which are far superior to Jadis' stock bias controls and also same time, lets drill holes in the sides of the amp, near the trans and install 2 handles for easy transport. Seems Jadis failed to install handles on the amp, Yeah I know, the french are all about *the beauty of the aesthetics* WEll how do they figure we are suppose to haul around a 70 lb amplifier with NO HANDLES??? Lucky Richard has in his stash a pair of silver chrome handles from another amplifer. DEfy7 with handles = resale value increases |
This should be a pretty simple fix. Lay the speaker on its back. Remove all of the socket head cap screws and the trim ring. Center the driver in the opening ensuring that the holes in the basket line up with the nut the cap screw threads into Replace the trim ring, install the cap screws and tighten. Put the speaker back upright. |
Don't sweat the small stuff. The days of that standard of quality control has been gone for years. The stuff is made in China on an assembly line and sells for less than $300 apiece. As long as it doesn't effect playback then it doesn't really matter IMO. If you want perfection then you have to pay a LOT more for it than what you have paid. Maybe Audio note would work. They hand craft everything. Here Audio Note UK AN-E/SPx AlNiCo Loudspeakers Review - Dagogo |
