If that is what you are worried about, then do not get white. The speakers and the bass ports push in and out air. The dust, and resudue in the air builds up in front of these spots on the fret over time. It's not good if you are fussy.

Silver on the other hand doesn't seem to suffer in this way, why not try dark grey??

Thanks Dave. In the mean time I have called a couple of dealers and all of them told me that dust and resudue wil indeed build up in front of the speaker spots but are easily kept clean using a small brush on the vacuum cleaner (even with the white cloth). If there are people who disagree (because they have seen or experienced otherwise) with this then please let me know.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the residue does not come off of the front of my 9's, so i wouldn't risk it. That being said though, i still love the white for BL9 despite the very visible brown circle around the 10 inch driver, because they disappear from the peripheral vision against white walls. :)
