I picked up new Heresy IVs from an authorized dealer last week. The veneer on my speakers has several splits or gouges that are about 1" long on most sides of the speakers. These are not b-stock. The image below is from 1 speaker; the other speaker has similar, but fewer veneer issues. Is this expected or should it be considered a defect? These speakers represent a significant, but worthwhile, expense for me. I'm planning to keep these speakers for a very long time, but part of me is kind of disappointed that there are gouges all over my new speakers. Thanks!
