    Ashamed of my B&W Speakers...

    I can't even stand looking at them anymore.

    I feel so much better now.

    LOL

    Getting a new furnace installed, didn't want whatever dust and who knows what to potentially get onto them while things were being ripped out and installed...

      That was a very smart thing to do, I would even throw a blanket over the tv and other electronics. I had some dry wall work done a few years ago and that s%^t went everywhere. I spent hours cleaning and carefully wiping it off the A/V gear. I always do my best now to cover things up as best as possible. Are those the cloth wrappings that came with the speakers?

        I'm actually surprised there's little to no dust at all with the install.... Not enough to make me uncover the speakers...still happy I did that....but it's definitely hardly none. Any that has been created I can easily sweep up with the vacuum or duster I have.

        Just can't take chances with my babies. ha ha

              I never realized the love affair I have with my speakers... that was terrible not being able to listen to them.... I seriously didn't know what to do with myself for an evening when I didn't want to uncover and re-cover them the next morning...

              Do I have a problem?!!? Is there a Bowers and Wilkins Anonymous support group!? LOL

                        DUST?
                        by Rock Dog
                        Wondering how members handle dust? DUST is a very important part of the care and maintainence of ALL your electronic equipment. It can cause real problems, especially with power supplys and amplifiers.

                        1) Amps and power section with a nice layer of dust run hotter.
                        2) If your...

                        Dust Containment
                        by Bear
                        I came across this thread over at CNCZone talking about cyclonic dust management systems for woodworkers. Since one of the things I HATE about MDF is the dust for a variety of good reasons, I am very interested in getting any feedback from people about how they contain dust and whether you use a standard...

                        My turntable is a dust magnet!
                        by Kevin P
                        While spinning some vinyl, I became painfully aware of how much dust had collected on my Denon DP-300F turntable... not just on the dust cover either... the plinth was coated in dust as well, even though it spends nearly all its time with the cover closed. I've kept the platter and the cork mat clean,...

                        by specialized
                        Hi there.. There is some reconstruction of one of my rooms. Since it's totaly different room , and since it's a small reconstruction (more electricity cables installing in the wall and some wall treatmant), i thought there would be not so much dust in my living room. Also i was a bit afraid of potential...
