Repair for speaker cabinet


Hello,

I have a damaged corner on one of my R3 speakers.

I would appreciate if anyone has suggestions on repairs for this project.

They are black and only on corner hot damaged.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Wondering how a cat could knock it down..unless he was a shape shifting malamute...Doesn't that kef have dedicated stands that it screws onto? (Stand could be weighed  down further/ fill with steel b.bearings or whatever)?

Or did you cheap out with some 20 dollar crap stand from Amazon?

 

 

So what happened was I work from home and my audio setup is in my office. I was busy in a meeting and my daughters cat came in and decided to try and use the R3 as a perch and must have jumped to hard on it or landed awkward and it went flying. To my shock and horror I heard band and then the cat flying out of the room and speaker laying on floor. They were on stands but not the KEF stands that allow bolting to keep it steady. I went therapy shopping and ended up getting KEF R11’s that are floor standing. I think I found a furniture repair guy to fix the R3 so I may keep them for another room/setup.

....*ouch*...Thanks for the pics, but that corner....edge, not so much, but....
KEF would be using HDF for the cabs, and crushing a corner...
Has your  repair guy seen the cab or the pics?

...as soon as I saw 'Piano Black Gloss finish' I cringed....
 

@deep_333 ....My orange tabby could kick over a 27 lb. speaker...you should hear him hit the floor...
Personally, I don't use stands..... 

Have an additional cat that lighter and more agile, not to mention the 27 (yup) lb. Hyperdog with an undocked tail.....that gives the felines reasons to scramble.

 

...estimated at 1.5 ish yr. old......but not 'pure', no....

We like them like that.....flawed, like us..... ;)

I think a good furniture guy could fix that ... certainly make it look less noticeable.  

@deep_333 they weren’t Amazon stands but they weren’t the screw down type as I was living as a geo-bachelor before returning home after retirement from Army Civilian service so it wasn’t a big deal before because I am super careful and no kids or cats around. I was planning to get the KEF stands but the kitty beat me to it. So I went and purchased R11’s. They are floor standing at 80lbs each. I normally shoot her out of office where system is but was in a meeting and she snuck in and did what cats do. 😂
