Non-HG owners, snicker away, I can take it. Those of you who do enjoy the beauty of HG in your own home... how do you clean your speakers? Damp rag, Windex, Turtle Wax? I need to buff mine up... they're full of greasy fingerprints after all of the screwing around I've done with them since the install. Need to get them back to looking 'cherry.' Jason

Definitely not turtle wax! LOL!
The best thing is a dry cloth - microfibre or very soft cotton / flannel. This avoids any streaking. Add a little elbow grease and you're done!

I would not think you would use wax. Just use a swiffer cloth, or other soft cloth, possibly slightly dampened.

On a side note, no cleaning necessary yet as we have new carpet being put in the media room tomorrow due to a defect we found after we moved in... which means everything has to be unhooked and moved out of the room to avoid having one of the carpeters knock over a speaker, etc... If I cleaned them today, after that experience I'm sure they'd be even dirtier than when they started... what a pain. Please play your violins for me.

I use a clean microfiber cloth. Costco has a pack of 30 or something like that for i think 12 bucks if there is one in your area. You'll have to polish them once every couple weeks to keep them looking their best. But thats just me.

I use cloth gloves when I touch or move my HG M-80s. The lazy man's way.

When moving my speakers, I use a full-body condom. And I don't even have high gloss.

Make sure to get the non-lubricated kind unless you want to leave slug trails.

You can find anything on the internets. Here's Mark goofing off after moving his speakers:
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
