Default Event TR-6 build quality?

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced build issues with Event Tuned
Reference 6 monitors. My story:

Once upon a time in a land far far away, I bought a pair of TR-6's off
the floor from Guitar Center; got them home and discovered first, that
the amplifier section of one of them decided not to power up; I returned
it for a new in-the-box one, then...

I started critically listening to the second one and discovered that it
was "farting" - not a blown driver, but a cabinet that seemed to be
vibrating itself to death somehow. So I returned it for a new in-the-box
one. I'm now 2 for 2 problem speakers, but things are looking up. Skip
to...

Four months later, after working happily with my two (now replacement)
monitors, I fire up the studio one day and discover that -both- monitors
have distortion apparently from the woofer. I assume I'm somehow about
to blow both woofers, so I call Event and have a pair of replacement
drivers sent to me.

I should've removed the woofers from the cabinets, because after the
replacements arrive I discover the new woofers are doing the same thing:
the woofer isn't distorted, the cabinet is - they too are now doing the
same vibrating-itself-to-death farting routine that one of the original
floor model units was doing.

So, I just wanted to see, for curiosity's sake, if anybody else in the
world had experienced this. I'm now 3 for 4 Event TR6's having exhibited
a similar problem, which somehow doesn't seem right since folks have
generally good things to say about these monitors.

Yes, I'm calling Event again tomorrow.

thanks y'all,
Eric
