TANNOY GOLD 5 - RETURNED TO GEAR4MUSIC

TANNOY GOLD 5 - RETURNED TO GEAR4MUSIC

I have now arranged to return my Gold 5 monitors to Gear4Music where I purchased them.

This is one of the really great benefits of shopping at Gear4Music - you can return products you are not happy with within 30 days for a small fee.

Shockingly low manufacturing quality..!

When I cleaned the Gold 5 for delivery today, I did this in better lighting than I have in my studio.
I got a shock, because I now saw something I had not noticed:

Both speakers both upper corners had a bulge, which clearly reveals low manufacturing quality/control.
Apparently too much glue has been used when the cabinets have been assembled, which has led to a bulge - the glue has caused the mounting hole to expand.

Is this the Tannoy of the future ?
