Thanks Dragon. The Vandersteen fabric is not very transparent (visualy), I wonder what the trick of the weave is? I have witnessed people using "whatever" replacement fabric in the 70's on KLH and AR speakers with not so good sonic results. I wonder if there is a DIY speaker forum with info on the subject?
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers
How important is the fabric on speakers to their sound? If I changed the covers of my speakers to a more decorative fabric to please my girlfriend, would that really be a big deal? Obviously, I wouldn't cover them with wool blankets, but would, for example, a light silk really sound that much different than whatever the manufacturers use? Given that many audiophiles think that the shape of their AC cords dramatically affect the sound, it is interesting that no one seems to discuss this topic. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
