Replacing driver screws with brass screws

“it improved the detail in ambient trails"
I usually just smoke another joint for the best ambient trails. Yea, I find it to be one of the best tweaks.

Not too good for your lungs though...

@cal91,

'I am a Harbeth owner and I don't see how I could do that with the screws securing my drivers.'


As an Harbeth owner perhaps it might help to be a little more familiar with the Harbeth website?

Alan Shaw stated that it's no big deal as long as you're sensible and use no more pressure than is required to meet resistance. 

Basically - Don't go mad!!

If you're really struggling I can try and dig up his exact words for you.


As for brass screws, let's not even go there!

How about simply trusting the manufacturers?

The people whose livelihoods depend upon their products.

The people who have spent a lot of time and resources building loudspeakers.

I might not like a lot of loudspeakers out there, but I'm not going to pretend for one moment that I, with my severely limited resources and knowledge, could do any better.

Seriously, if anyone is considering ruining their speakers in this way, it might be wise to contact the manufacturer first if they are of any value to you. 

A possibility of voiding the warranty?? 

cd318..Talk about don't go mad... I was a little confused, but I was actually defending you by telling other people to not attack and make fun of you, but instead give you a chance to explain yourself. Please re-read my post. You said Alan Shaw at Harbeth recommended finger tight. Now you say Shaw recommends no more pressure than is necessary to meet resistance, which makes perfect sense and sounds like we're now using a screwdriver. The problem was that I took you literally meaning using your fingers to tighten the screws. OK, stupid me. But you have to admit your choice of words could have been better.
