Steel mesh in Polydomes ?

Speaking of the redesigned polydomes, I kick myself for not keeping a pair of 8.1s I had.
I knew they sounded very very good but naive bias, thinking the earlier models were somehow superior, tainted my better judgement.

Thats interesting tubed .. Had you everside by side compared the first series to . 1 ? Or was this just an incorrect preconception . I purchased my 6.1s without hearing based only on family heritage and the fact that I had heard and lusted for the original k 6 many moons ago .( Although when I first saw the 6.1 not knowing the .1 series existed I was smitten by their looks ..). I know there are strong opinions based on sealed vs port .... and this can lead to :bash::
 
Bills speakers and those are both very handsome, I like them. I ended up going a completly different direction.

After stripping the cabinets and removing the diffraction strips, (tough to clean in place) I used the Krylon white fleck stone stuff,but taped the front baffle off so it's still black. Surprisingly the first one came out quite nice, I wasn't sure how it would work but it looks really nice. I still have a ways to go.

I'm taking pics, so I'll share before and after when their done.
 
That sounds cool . Definately going to need pictures :banana:
SIDE NOTE : Yesterday I decided to do " Exploratory Surgery " on my polydomes . I was hoping I could get in and clean the dome w meguirs . but the clips are soldered and i didnt want to mess them up so I closed up and just enjoyed the beautiful music ..
pics por favor :lurk::lurk::lurk:

When you were speaking with Bill (Miller Sound) during your Kappa 6.1 re-foaming, did you happen to ask him about our Polydomes? I'm wondering if he has a replacement dome that he installs or if he preforms the Meguiar's clean-up & restoration process? :scratch2:

Bill replaces the dome and reuses everthing else. Talk_Louder just had his done. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=610313

Never heard them but I would bet they are at least as good as new. Bill doesn't mess around.

Thats a good question " duffer" No but in last few days after thinking I was in for cleaning the domes and being rebuffed by soldered terminals I have been thinking of sending him aphoto of my domes and ask for his advice . To treat with meguirs ( if hes at all familiar with it )( I treat the outsides once in a while ) or just leave as is and hope for best knowing that if dome cracks ( god forbid ) he can replace just the dome ..Hes avery helpful guy and Im sure hed be happy to share his thoughts . for all we know he may caution against applying any such products :scratch2:
