Speakers and glue......


Hi Guys, I am going to need some speakers, monitors or floorstanding to be used in a humid climate near the sea. This type of climate wreaks havoc with gear and especially anything that relies on glue. I guess Magnepans are out of the question because of this. Do any of you have any suggestions on speakers that aren't reliant on glue?

Why not just put air tight bags over the equipment when you are not there? That is why in shipping all the equipment is always sealed, to prevent moisture coming in. Just get some nice heavy vinyl plastic bags and seal the hell out of all your stuff......bag em and leave em.
That's a great idea Acurus. You'd have to be careful though, right? They would have to be totally air tight or you could end up with moisture in the bag. (and trap salt in there)You could put silica gel packs in there but what if they dry the speakers out too much?
I wouldn't sweat it up so much, I would throw in the silica bags and they will be fine. I am not sure they can be too dry..
You wouldn't believe how that salt air gets into things. I have some of those big Pelican cases that seal and apparently are watertight. Come back after a while and anything leather has turned to thick mold. The idea is to open your windows every day, but of course when you aren't there......
Thomastrouble. Csmgolf mentioned the Mark and Daniel line of speakers. The enclosures are made of compound marble. They look very nice and get great reviews.The Apollo II is in your price range. They're fairly large at 4' tall and weigh 170lbs each. They offer smaller models of floor standers as well, such as the Muse Ia at 85lbs, $5500 and also made of compound marble. They look very nice. I've never heard them but I'd like to after browsing their web site.
