    How long does the Kevlar cone take to change colour?

    The 803D and 805S I have on home demo right now are apparently 3/4 years old. The driver on the 803D is quite a goldish brown in most lighting conditions?

    I will have to buy a new centre, and I am a touch concerned about a potential colour mismatch?

    Is this something to worry about, or will they all resemble a similar tone in time, and if so how long?

    I dont really want to spend X amount on different looking cherrywood and yellow vs goldy brown drivers?

    My dealer thinks a new centre will settle down colour in 6 months or so?

    Should I stop being such a big girl or is this something that would concern you too?

    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated?

    Put the grilles on to prevent the dusts and you will not notice the the color of the cones.

    Alternatively, dim the lights.

    Enjoy the speakers for their intended purpose -- listen to them.

      It takes about 6 months to settle. I also added a center, and a bright golden yellow driver! A few months later there's no difference to the others.
