I managed to damage the wooden top of a new hi-fi speaker. The scrape
was caused by the corner of a plastic foldable crate (rounded not
sharp). The mark is across the grain and the indentations are deepest
where the grain is soft and less where the grain is hard, so I assume
this is real wood not veneered chipboard.

I'd go along with the suggestions of using the iron and steaming it -
that trick really has to be seen to be believed! - however IIWY I'd
investigate further whether this really is solid wood. Sounds unlikely
to me that it would be, but I'm no audiophile: maybe it's normal? But
anyhow, if it IS veneered chipboard I would think steaming would make a
total balls of it.
