Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?

Anyone who is an owner/manager of a retail store of any sort will understand my remarks. That sort of activity costs everyone(mostly the consumer) a lot of money not to mention being completely dishonest and lacking any sort of moral value. At least I can see that most here agree that those are NOT solutions to this problem- so I would retract my statement about being ashamed to be part of this group *most of you are great people* and I am honored to be part of this comunity. Of all people I should know by now that a few bad apples are in every batch, its just every now and again I am shocked with the remarks.

I am sure it is hard for some people to understand that SOME folks do care about what they do for a living and how they conduct themselves in business and in life. Lying, cheating and stealing(yes this would be stealing) is no way to live life and manage to get any form of enjoyment out of it- but hey you saved some money.

Back on Track...($.01 If you can't afford the torque wrench, then you should finance your Bose System from Best Buy, because you are adding cost to my Sears tools that I do buy)

As long as you don't strip out the MDF by tighening the drivers, you are ok, and yes those screws should be loose. Using a Torque wrench with the manuafacture specs prevents the stripping out of any screws.

TireGuy,

I'm sorry I did not think prior to submitting my answer to help Kimu. If you re-read what I said, I did mention that it will not work & he should call B&W. I have never over screwed, or screwed anyone as I was just AGAIN trying to help!

As to my values, gosh I came to the aid of someone in need. I do not feel the need to really try to make you understand, since you are apparently focused on one sentence w/ horse blinders on. Glancing at it in a polically-correct view, & now trying to turn this into a Sunday Bible class?

Again I apoligize, I guess in a hobby where you spend your time tweeking trying to hear a difference of if a component sounds better w/ the points of cones turned up or down. Maybe you approch the brink of madness, where you loose you train of thought at times? Would it help if I mentioned I was BLONDE? :0)~ Nuf Said!

AMEN

Audiobugged- I am not trying to preach or judge anyone I was just shocked by your first few suggestions of how to handle this situation. Had you just said at the end of your post "of course I was kidding" but I don't think you were kidding. I am surely not focusing on one sentence as much as your trying to pass the buck- "borrow the tools from sears" or "loosen the bolts and send them back to B&W" the person who posted this thread may have made a mistake(maybe he didn't) he should be honest and if there was any damage done he'll have to take care of it.

I agree with you saying getting in touch with B&W is in order and make sure everything is fine. I can't see how it could do any damage with the drivers B&W uses but I am not the designer.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, perhaps I am in low spirits because I haven't seen the sun in almost a week- it never stops raining here!

Kimu_ito- Sorry to have hi-jacked your thread, I wish you the best of luck with this situation and hope there was no damage done.

Naked listening?! You must have read my valuable contribution to the "Audio Jokes" thread! If you have any further tips to add to that advice ("The Ultimate Tweak"), do post them to that thread. The only blonde I recall sharing naked listening positions with, is my wife, and she doesn't give a monkey's behind about this hobby so I know you ain't her.

Hope you've donned your flame-suit by now. Yep, we all do make mistakes...I've made some doosies in my day. My poop smells pretty vile too! Turn the vent fan on and burn a candle. You can't expect folks to hold back their reaction to such a foul stench as that. I think you got some very valid feedback, though I'm sure you didn't realize you were asking for it.

Best,

Marco
