Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out?

Wolf, I have to say that I always enjoy your sense of humor.

Two years ago I brought home a new pair of Magneplanar 1.7s. I'm listening to them as I type. For most of those first two years, the mylar in the panels was radiating a smell. They exuded it even when nothing was playing. It didn't fill the room but I could always smell it when I went near one. Sometimes louder music made it a little more active, but never enough to ruin the experience--it usually radiated in a 3-foot radius maximum. 

The panels eventually settled down. I just stuck my big nose within 1" of one speaker while it's playing, and no more new polyester odor.

Kenjit, I’m not attacking you; rather i’m letting all other members know that you have a major axe to grind

So do you. You seem to pop up every time I mention GMA. Are you being paid by them?

Your episode with Green Mtn Audio

A) you dont know the story. B) I’m not complaining about my whole experience with GMA. I am only sharing my opinions when its relevant. 

the OP wanted to know if others could smell their speaker.

Yes and I answered by saying GMA was the worst. I speak the truth. They smeared some sort of car wax on the cabinet. It was stupid because otherwise the marble cabinet has no smell at all in comparison to your average mdf cabinet which does outgas toxic fumes for many years.

While it might be true that the other brands like B&W & PMC that you tried use acoustic polyester there are many other brands that have not listened to that could be using acoustic fiber. None of those other brands were maligned - only Green Mountain Audio was.

i never said PMC use polyester i clearly said they use foam. I own them. I am stating facts.

Realize that if you attack people & manufacturers you are very likely to be attacked yourself

and realise that the reason you dont see Roy Johnson posting on parts express, diyaudio and other technical forums is because his crazy theories wouldnt stand up to scrutiny.
