Never have done - leave that to you (you're sooo much better at it).

Aha, blundered into the Church of the Reproduction's equivalent of the Wee Frees, have I? Hadn't realised that the fundamentalists had moved in completely.

Easy. When you've tried many tweaks (and I have) and none of them have worked, you get fed up. If cables/power cords/stands/demagnetising CDs and all the other mumbo-jumbo don't work, why should wee bits of stuff stuck to speakers?

I respect completely your right to worship at the altar of the divine HOBBY and believe in the miracles wrought by Him. Hallelujah, Brother! May you have a long and fruitful fundamentalist life dotting all the i's, not to mention the speakers, the walls, the ceiling...
