I believe you, but I still don't believe that it's the best idea. For example, what if it was secured by loctite and the humidity changed for a period of time? There would be no way to adjust it. I just think that it is something that needs to be done twice a year from my own experience, but I understand if it is too difficult to remove your grills.
A question about trim rings around speaker drivers
I have seen over the years an increase in the use of decorative trim rings around speaker drivers that hIde the screws that hold the driver to the baffle, which makes them more attractive in the home environment. I don't have an issue with that, but I learned a long time ago that at least twice a year, driver screws need to be tightened as they become loose from the vibration of movement.
I was interested in a particular speaker by JBL that has black plastic trim rings, and I called two dealers as well as JBL to ask if these rings were easily removable by the consumer, and no one that I spoke with had the answer.
My question is: Do other members tighten their drivers on a regular basis, and are there members who have trim rings that they can't, or haven't tried to remove? I would be surprised if this was something that JBL or other manufacturers had not considered.

@roxy54 You have to tight every week . If you see the screws is loosed , get a new bigger sze |
A worthy topic…. I will ask TAD what they advise…. the trim ring on mid tweeter looks bonded on……or the driver likely fastened from rear = would require removal of back input plate. The woofer is easy…. Also re tippy stands…. i love the TAD stands and Sound Anchors and of course anything Arnold the sensei at Core Audio designs and builds….. |
