| Treating speaker cones Foam surrounds need replacement often. Fortunately for you KEF uses Butyl surrounds, which last a long, long time. If the speakers sound fine, I'd sit back and enjoy the music. Apply chemicals to cones and/or surrounds is iffy at best. | |

| pwr conditioner - vans evers unlimiter I am using a Vans Evers model 141 (14 outlets) with everything plugged into it. Fantastic! Highly recommend Mike's products. The man is a genius. | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Worst: Vandersteen, who charged me for a tweeter voice coil while the speakers were still under warranty and they were extremely rude about it. After I gave up on trying to get good sound out of the 2CIs, no matter what electronics/cables I tried,... | |

| Apt-Holman pre-amp Within the past few days, I saw a PS Audio 6.0 on the 'net for $200.00. I owned one of these several years ago and it was quite good. I would highly recommend this piece. | |
