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 put a dehumidifier in the room and just shut it off during playing times..This way you can buy any type speaker you want.........It is also more healthy to boot....

A dehumidifier would be great except for a couple of problems - I can't find one anywhere in Brazil (believe it or not), plus, I am only there for a few months in the year and the house becomes musty during my away time.

Its not the glue it,s actually the wood expanding. If it was fastened with mechanical fasteners or even glued with polyurethane it would just crack and split at the joint or at the fastener. Dehumidify or aluminium cased speakers ? Cheers
