Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?


One of the things that came to my mind yesterday was how tight were the woofer screws of my N805. I noticed that the screws were very slightly "loose" so I decided to tighten them all the way down. Now I am worried as to if I made a mistake by doing this and if the sound can be affected. Subjetively I did not find any diference in sound after this, but I was wondering if B&W intentionally leaves the screws a tad loose for some purpose? What do you guys think? Thanks for your thoughts.

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
Yes KIMU sorry about your thread!!!

Jax2 - Thanx for you support, yet no I will never be the naked blonde next to you that is into your stuff!

Tireguy, I will pray for Sunshine for you!

Also I will do a reverse naked Indian Rain Dance with you in mind, later tonight with my girlfriend since you ain't getting any stress-relief. Honest Indjian!!!

Enough with the rain that has grown the accorn into a tree.

Remember like Orphan Annie -
"The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow", & then they will be able to grind that stump out of your port hole!

Awe to see the Sun again & be bung-free.

I'm kidding Tireguy, see that was kidding! I'm sorry that I have a sense of humor, while you are Blue.

Cheer up little camper as we will meet again, hopefully not having to hide behind Kevlar midrange drivers?

Again KIMU ITO, I genuinely apologize about the destruction of your thread.
If you absolutely, positively need to sink to their level, and feel compelled to execute some deep penetration with your Phillips, Flat-Head, or Torx (if you are from Europe), my vote would be for FedexGround....or UPS perhaps...and go for those Claims Divisions! In fact, you could go for 90% of the sorry-ass insurance industry in general as I believe that to be a hopeless cause at this point, especially medical insurance! Oh, and lets not forget the pharmaceutical companies! BUT as Cytocycle rightly points out, it is just that kind of behavior that costs us all more money when we go to buy our insurance or torque wrench or widgets. I don't know the answer, I'm just a simple guy who needs to light a candle after I go to the bathroom. Neither Sears nor Home Depot have done any wrong by me. Even if they had, it wouldn't be my inclination to give them a jail-house welcome when they were bending over. I'd simply stop doing business with them. BTW, thanks for your assurances Audiobugged, I'd hate to even think of such a thing at night!

Seriously though....do unto others as you would have others do unto you. It's SO simple and so elegant, and just feels so true to me. I try to keep that foremost in mind in all my actions, but like all of us I sure can slip up at times! I'll just keep those candles handy!
