What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
@ asat:  I hear you, buddy.  Totally understand.  
Has anyone ever used any sprays or paints to protect the cabinet of a speaker?
Erik, per your suggestion, I found just the ticket.  Rustoleum has a clear urethane with UV.  I thought you were joking about the UV.  So yeah, I sprayed them puppies over the weekend.  They look much darker now, and cooler!  Thanks, man!

Loomis, that's really amazing.  I don't expect mine to last more than 5 years if I did what you did.  The summer sun we get is brutal for about 4 hours where i usually have them.  But good to know.

deeznutz, yes I am aware of that.  My intention isn't to try "convert" these speakers into outdoor speakers.  I simply want to minimize any damage that  the elements will inevitably cause.  I only take them out maybe twice a week, and never in the...

$5-6k??? man, save your cash. go for the JBL Studio 530.  They were just on sale for $300 a pair, but back up to $600, still saving tons of dough.   Read up on them.  Crazy good.

Erik, thanks.  I'll look into some clear poly.  
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
OK, brace yourself.  I wasn't expecting to like them this much.  I have an old pair of Genesis APM-1s that simply weren't doing it for me anymore.  I needed more.   I've had them for over 10 years, having bought them used.  I bought the JBLs stric... 
It’s that time of year- 2020 audio wish list
Agree. More music! More music!  More Music!

If the JBL Studio 590s are still on sale for a grand a pair, I'd jump on them.  They are crazy good.  Read around. 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
I just remembered something that kinda put things into prospective.  My elderly neighbor had her entire house painted 2 years ago both inside and out, as well as her garage.  The house is around 1800 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and the garag... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Bauhaus at the Hollywood Palladium on Nov. 4.  Yes, they still got it.

Andy, I agree.  All Wilsons should come with a vat of Vaseline lube cuz the buyer is getting shafted.  
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
So, I just remembered, Wilson used (and maybe still does) a 6.5" paper mid supplied from SB acoustics.  The thing was $65.  So i don't know what's worse, a $27,500 paint job, or putting in a $65 mid in a six figure speaker, even worse, both!  So y... 
JBL Studio 590
So I've had them for about 3 weeks now, I think.  They truly are spectacular speakers.  I'm not going to miss my Genesis APM-1s.  Actually, I can't wait to get rid of them.   
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Tatoo guy:  The speakers in question are $329k, not $850k.
