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.

No Fellows N805's have no FST, the speaker uses the same driver as the Cdm & 600 Series. It's just the ring around the collar, attaching it to the cabinet!

Lafish,
Wait the B&W FST is factory tuned, it only comes with a travel screw that is released upon set-up. No manual that I have ever read ever mention that you are to even mess with the screw on the back of Cdm-9nt,N804,N803,N802,N801's

Are you talking about the travel set screw, or the actual fst back plate?

Audiobugged,

You have become the Dixie Chicks of A'gon!

I believe in second chances. While your comments are in fact questionable, I do not think we should "hang em high" just yet. You do have good feedback. Just understand how they reflect on you and think twice next time.

Regards,

Hey Audiobugged, tireguy and the rest of you:

Just HOW LONG HAVE y'all been married?

Fer C'sakes, sounds like a guy can get into just as much trouble here as the poor newly-wed slob can at the dinner table.....

Tireguy...I have always read what you have to say to people and believe that you are very insightful. I support you 100% in this forum. It is best to be honest in every situation. As my father told me..."If you always tell the truth, you dont have to have as good of a memory"

With regards to the situation at hand here, Kimu, you made an honest mistake with your speakers...however, it was you that made that mistake and you that should accept responsibility for it. At least it was not an expensive mistake and all you really need to do is call B&W and tell them what happened. If they concur that purchasing a simple tool from Sears will remedy the problem, then buy that tool. I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things, if you can afford $2000 speakers then you can afford to buy a tool to fix them. no need to use sears as a tool rent-a-center.

Peace
