Replacement Sonus Faber grille strings?

Hi guys, the grille and stand strings on my Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers are beginning to sag.  While I know its a straight forward task to retension the grille strings, I am just thinking that at some point I will need to replace the strings. The stand strings look a bit more difficult as it will require me to dismantle the stand.  

Of course I have no intention of paying the ridiculous prices SF wants to charge me.  So does anyone know of a source for the string?

I resorted to just cutting off the little piece of metal at the bottoms of each string and re-knotting them as mentioned above.  No way I am paying $1000 to have these redone.  In the meantime I will check out the various replacement options listed above.

I had tightened my Auditor. However, after 2 year, the strings will lose the tightness again. We cannot tightened twice, all the strings had lost their elasticity.

I bought a pair of Sonus Faber Concertinos without grill covers. Can anyone point me to the right source where I can buy the grill-covers? Many Thanks!

I am missing 1 pc. of the Sonus Faber emblem at the bottom of the grill. Can someone point to where I can buy a replacement one? Thank you!

GUARNERI HOMAGE GRILL STRINGS- (used to be) $600 PLUS SHIPPING- special order from Italy.
I GAVE UP AND REMOVED THEM. THEY DO LOOK NICE, THOUGH.
BUT if they don't provide any protection at all, and they don't last at all,
it's really nuts- unless someone invents a regular cover replacement that fits onto the speaker. I don't care if it blocks .01% of the upper frequencies.
