Thx for the inputs and suggestions. I did not pay full retail but it was sold to me as BNIB and it was uncrated in my home. Dealer has taken back the speakers, but gave me the option to still purchase it after refurbishment, but with no further reductions in price (since it was sold below full retail).
Sonus Faber peeling leather
Hi
I recently bought a pair of SF Lilium, BNIB, and upon unpacking, found that the leather had started to peel. The dealer took them back. The dealer is having it re- wrapped but I was wondering if anyone has done this properly (not just sticking another layer over it) or does it have to go back to the factory to be done properly?
Thanks

https://ibb.co/album/gRLr8v Hi everyone, I just went to take a look at the speakers. One side was done. They were done very professionally. The fit and finish was as good as new. They used a more durable felt type material that will be more durable than leather in tropical weather where I am and the dealer will warranty the job for 10 years, so I have decided to keep them. Most SF leather will eventually peel in the tropics. Thanks for all your advice! Cheers J |
