Hi
In between the speakers moved to my livingroom and I'm sure that I don't need a subwoofer anymore. In this moment they are connected to my Denon receiver with all tonecontrol turned off and the sound is very impresive, nothing is missing, no boomy bass just controlled but very deep.
The adjustmentscrews for tilting the speaker were too long, cut them about 25 mm and now the speakers are tilted in a for me good looking way.
The Beomaster, Beogram and Beocord will come the next week into business.
In the moment i don't really see the MC 40 cabinet in my living room, in my taste it's too high (about 63 cm) plus the Beomaster 8000 on top, together nearly 80 cm.
Maybe someone could make me an offer for a Cabinet SC 80-2 ;-))
Now to the fabric.
I started with gently prying out the aluminiumtrim, possibly with not bending too much because the corners are cut to 90 degrees and only a tiny part of material is left on the edge.
Two corners were broken during disassembling ;-((
I pryed off the old fabric and tried with a smal part of the new fabric to get it into the frame and push the aluminiumtrim in to clamp the fabric in place.
No chance, the fabric seems to be to thick.
I had a closer look to the original mounting of the fabric and could see that the fabric is only bent around the edge to the slot where the aluminium fits in.
The first attempt just to spray some glue on the frame and pull the fabric in place failed because you glue to the front and the fabric comes to a wavy looking on the edges.
After a bit headscratching how to get this done I decided to prestretch the fabric on my table with some staples like in the picture below. (Fabric face down, staples about 35 X 30 cm)
The pattern is caused by camerasolution.

I masked the frames with painters tape to get the sprayglue only to the front and the edges:

waited about 2 minutes to let the glue getting sticky and pressed the frame to the fabric.
Than I took a square profile weling wire of 2,5 mm and cut with a razorblade a straigth 2 mm excess.

This excess cam be layed around the edges and pressed into the still sticky sprayglue.

After that the aluminium trim could be reinserted snugfif and looking good.
The broken corners of the aluminium don't matter, hardly visible from 1 m distance.
Did not take further picture yet, comming soon.
Kind regards
