:scratchhead: Scratches on the Marlan Head is best dealt with B&W ,as they have a liquid solvent that blends in and removes the scratches immediately and permanently. I had that problem, and B&W sent me this polish, and voila all Vanished. :T I was very very happy with results
The Meguiar solution is also used for those scratches, but not as good as that B&W magic potion! ;x(
Cheers :dance: Now buff those Marlans away!

4 day old speakers should not have scratches. Glad to hear that B&W is taking care of you.
If you made the scratches and the speakers were old I'd try the after market stuff,
but you are probably much better off waiting till you get the b&w solution. It is probably made just for this type of problem - it is good to know they have such a thing in case I can afford marlin heads one day - I suspect fine scratches are a problem - be careful how you remove dust in the future, you might make more little scratches.
So, how do you like your new speakers?- Bottom

Just for interest, I use an Ostrich feather duster to remove any dust that may settle on the marlan heads of my 800a and 802s.
Wouldn't dream of using anything like a cloth duster - it is amazing how abrasive dust can be on such a material.- Bottom

by kneptuneThe 1098's RR-1050 remote's plastics lens which covers the LCD display seems to be sensitive and easily scratched (I'm talking light scratches, which some might call "spider" scratches - obviously a deep scratch or gouge is a different thing).
Has anyone discovered/used...-

by EastCoasterWell, it was bound to happen... My cleaning lady removed a accoustical panel for "dusting" and scratched the Rosenut finish on one of my 805S. After inflicting the required beatings on the offender (just kidding) I found two thin 1/2 inch scratches that unfortunately show up white-ish in...-

by BassThatHzI'll get into the why part and save acoustical discussions, pros/cons for later... but first I just need to determine if this is even physically possible to implement.
I was looking at http://www.bwgroup-support.com/partspriceavail.html and saw many FST mids that are potentially swappable...-

by ht_addictJust curious if there is any difference in performance when it comes to glass vs plastic for optical cables. I know of a website that has glass ones priced similar to plastic ones.
