My Revel F208's are only 1.5 years old, I'll bet they came from the factory with some loose screws. Most were tight, some not tight enough, none extremely loose.

It will be on my radar to check them on an annual basis. I listen a lot, sometimes it's just background music, sometimes serious listening. I like to keep my ears tuned up since I'm still doing live mixing for my church band.
Just be sure to use the torque values suggested by the manufacturer.

Overtightening with a leather covered baffle results in sadly compromised sound.

Tight is not enough. Correct tight is what matters.
