    re-packing 802's

    I am going to be picking up the new speakers and I have to bring the 802D's back. If I remember the original packaging has a base and a box that slides into the base and then there is a top and it was banded around the base and the top. Well I don't have a banding machine. Are there any ideas on what I can use to secure the box for moving the speakers, besides the obvious tape.

    Thanks

      Check out an office supply store, like Staples or OfficeMax. They have plastic and metal banding kits. I would use the metal kit for peace of mind but it costs more.

          Tape will work fine if all you're doing is taking them back to the dealer. If you have to ship them, then the banding kits are the way to go.

                  They would go to waste as surrounds. They already have a happy home waiting on them. The new ones are just like them only bigger and better.

                          Now if I was truly lucky the dealer would have thrown in a pair of mono blocks with the 800's. I have read you have to send in to B&W to get the spikes. Where does it say that?because I can not find it.

                              Your dealer should obtain the spike kits on your behalf. If that is not possible then you can go to B&W directly but that really shouldn't be necessary if you are dealing with a reputable dealer, which most are.

                                      I'm looking at the price between birch laminated ply from home depot versus buying veneer to laminate a large piece of MDF, and the ply is cheaper. I've used the birch laminated ply before on an entertainment system and the results were satisfactory. I used some composite plastic edging for the entertainment...

                                      RSP-1068 - Horizontal banding on component output
                                      by Kyle
                                      Recently I noticed that my RSP-1068 has developed some horizontal banding on my component output. Regardless of what component input I use, I'm getting some rather annoying banding on the output to my TV.

                                      I've verified it's definitely the Rotel through process of elimination, using different...

                                      What's the best way to move the 802s once you have the spikes on them!?
                                      by PewterTA
                                      I just bought a couple maple plinths for under the 802Dis... I'm going to put the spikes on the speakers and then get them up on the plinths.

                                      Now to compensate with spikes and wood (ie not good).... WKHanna is making me machined Aluminum discs with small divots in them for the spike...

                                      Scrap Pile Builds: Three Affordable Kits
                                      by technodanvan
                                      As I continue to wait for my subwoofers to be finished (they've been delayed to next Friday, allegedly) I decided to make some sawdust.

                                      Back when I first purchased the kit for Wolf's Zingers (before the tweeter change) I had nabbed several other affordable kits as well - a bookshelf and                                      ...

                                      by Bob_Collins
                                      Ok guys, I have a question to pose. Are there any Home Theater receivers or processors out that include the venerable, old “tape loop” function? I’m referring to the ability on older stereo equipment to select a source for recording out to the tape outputs, but still allow you to choose to listen...
