@yyzsantabarbara isn't part.of the reason you've purchased those glossy speakers is for the esthetics? Putting covers over them when not in use IMO, makes them an eyesore, but what do I know. I'm tje same person that never puts a case over my phone, again, part of the reason for getting an attractive phone is to look at it, can't do that with a cover over it... just sayin...

In light of the diversity of comments above and they have all been amazing, I think we can all agree that speaker surfaces can be a amazingly Beautiful to look at, and arguably are the most beautiful part of your system, and possibly your Home. It is clear there is no good audiophile grade maintaining and cleaning kit tailored especially for speaker surfaces. Using polishing products for cars doesn’t make sense in light of different environments being encountered. Lots of other ideas offered herein are not really tailored to a speaker Consequently, effective immediately, I will be launching a new product line addressing how best to clean and maintain pristine speaker surfaces. These products will be available at your favorite audio gear shops very soon. This Will include special purpose microfiber towels, distilled water Products, modified swiffer dusting products, specially designed white handling gloves, air blowing Devices to remove dust, air filtration devices to remove harmful airborne dust particles, and polishing products which are under development as they just don’t really exist for indoor pristine speaker surfaces. A surprising product availability gap apparently exists for maintaining speaker surfaces and driver surfaces. Stay tuned for developing announcements. This will be really really big. |
@gumbedamit I got the NS5000 because it was the 2nd best speaker I had demoed and the safer choice to not get knocked over. Now after hearing it for a while in my Livingroom I think it maybe the best speaker sonically too. Those Zylon drivers are amazing. The NS5000 is also the most beautiful speaker I have owned. As I write this and hear my son | wife | dog messing around in the Livingroom. I am happy I have a cover on the speakers. It takes 10 seconds to remove and listen when no one is around, except the dog.

This sounds like more a commercial ad than a discussion thread. One can potentially avoid these hassle by just using covers. This is how I baby my upright piano. Of couse, be careful with the fabric of the cover that may "rub" the surface of the speakers that the OP is worrying ...
