7nt handling

[tensjed]

How do you suggest handling and moving the 7nt. Its pretty heavy. I watched the dealer pick up the speaker by the hole in the back (dont remember the technical name for the "hole"). Is this safe?

Thanks

yes, that is the standard method.... to use the vents.

I was just wondering because when i moved the speaker the other day the inner black plastic which covers the vent and extends into the speaker pulled out about three inches. I pushed it back in so it is almost flush with the wood, but am now extremely wary about moving that speaker by holding the vent.

it shouldn't do that... they probably didn't put enough glue at the factory ... at least I THINK glue is what they use .

How far are you moving them? I have the spike feet installed on mine but I slip coins between the feet and my hardwood floor. With the coins in place, I can slide the speakers easily, yet they stay still where I want them.

when the plastic piece pulled out i was merely trying to move it a foot or so. It was in picking up the speaker by the vent that it broke. I put the plastic piece back in and it seems to sound fine. should i get the speaker checked out somewhere? I am just scared to touch the thing now.
