[Adhesive showing up between the crease - Klipsch RP6000F]

hey @Ceptorman - It was sold as new speaker. There was no mention of "B" Stock speaker. I will have the rest of system delivered by Tuesday so I will plug it in and will have a listen.

 

I have already reached out to the seller - I am waiting on their reply. If they take the defected tower back, I will be most happy. Else, I will try to use a soft brush to fix the adhesive issue.

 

Quite honestly, as long as this is just an aesthetic issue and not a sound quality issue, I am OK with it.

 

[Adhesive showing up between the crease - Klipsch RP6000F]

Hello, I just received a pair of  RP6000F from an authorized online dealer of Klipsch. I unwrapped them and noticed that one of the speaker on one of the towers have some adhesive between the crease of Speaker and the wooden body. I thought it is just residual that i can clean up but its stuck there.

 

I have attached some pictures to show what I am talking about.

 

I haven't switched it on because I am afraid of damaging anything if this adhesive is a sign that speaker is not placed correctly or is this just an aesthetic issue.  So not sure what I am suppose to do: Is there a safe way to remove the adhesive? Will it impact the sound quality ? is that just an asthetic issue that I can safely ignore or I should plan on returning the floor stander.

 

Will appreciate your help on this
