Revel f208 (6mos old) blew up? - see attached

Interesting. Thanks for the links. I haven't had time to read through, but it does appear the situation isn't as simple as manufacturers would want us to believe.
 
6 month old set of f208s. Did a dirac sweep after getting a umik1, noticed something severely off.

Please see attached images. I don't claim to be in the knowledge on crossovers, etc but this seems alarming. Probably need to ship it off for diag/repair, no?

Troubleshooting steps taken:
1. Shifted sound on same song from 1 speaker to a other. High end noticeably gone/lacking.
2. Switched cabling from L to R, making sure my amp wasn't the one that blew up. Nope def the speaker.
3. The frequency sweep differences between L and R are night and day noticeable.

Noteworthy, my room is fairly large (20x25ft) and I do not crank my amp ( nad m33 ) past 65 or so. I just purchased a rel s812 that i had been starting to integrate. I had been on a break from listening due to work demands and demands of having young children. Guess its better found while still under warranty, ja?


Do you feel it's a driver that is degraded or xover? Kind of a bummer I have to ship a heavy unit off considering cost, but part of being cool I guess.
Having the same issue with one of my F208s. Curious if you got this sorted and if so what your approach was (e.g.replaced tweeter with OEM part)?
Thanks!
