B&W warped speaker grill

Wanderer73 · 03-13-2020, 07:32 PM

I'm trying to determine if my B&W front speaker grill has a concave warp in the center and on the right, or if this is the intended design. It seems like it's a defect or something melted the grill.

Can someone with the B&W system tell me if their grill is flat and symmetrical on the left and right sides?

Hard to see in the photo, but it's pretty obvious in person.

I don't think that's normal.

on my speaker i noticed that the felt liner is not consistent on both sides but the grill is fine but the speaker holes along the perimeter are odd however that may be by design.

Thanks! There's no way mine is normal, but thought I would check. Tech was telling me it was normal, but I think something got lost in translation from the SA. They're going to look at it again.

Well, I looked at mine and I don't see anything out of the ordinary/out of shape.

Same mine looks fine. I had to level my head to see it flat it’s kind of an illusion spot.
