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!

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. 😂 

@blackbag20 thanks I sent pics to a guy yesterday so waiting to see what he says.

the good thing is there is no other damage and they still sound great! 👍🏽 

@asvjerry yes my heart sank when I heard the bang and saw the Siamese kitty flying out the room! It’s my daughter’s cat and she feels horrible about it too. If only it would have went a little farther out it would have hit a pretty dense mat that is under the peloton and maybe did minimal dent or something. But it is what it is! That’s cool about the Tabby. My daughter loves cats and would like to see it.

 

thanks for all the feedback. It helps and as always gives perspective from others to gain knowledge 👍🏽👍🏽

Maybe I missed this but I would suggest bondo or similar epoxy wood filler, followed by meticulous sanding, then wet sanding, then paint.  I would think an suto body repair shop could do all or part of this for you.  (you were planning on having the whole cabinet repainted and not just "touched up", right? Black gloss if a very unforgiving finish.)

Let us know how it turns out.
