Eddy-Current

Hello all, Sorry for the delay but things have been busy on this end. Thanks for all the replies on my inquiry about the "water ring" on my newly purchased Oak oiled Forte II's. As for my original Posting: I don't know if it is truly a water ring or some other type of stain? It appears black (see first post for photo.) I still have not received them yet so I can't advise(Shipper is taking his time packing the speakers--which is good.) Hopefully they will make it up the road in great shape. Anyway ,thanks again for all for the advice on this problem. The riser bases also have some chips in the corners so that is another thing I will have to look at as well. Not too sure, if replacement risers are available? Hopefully, I hope they sound better than they look at present. All in all they seemed to be in average shape. As for my Cornwalls and Quartets, I usually oil them once a year with Formby's Lemon Oil Furniture Treatment(same as "Mikekid" mentioned.) They smell for a couple of days but it really keeps the wood looking good.(Oak Oiled Finish) Hey, I really like that link: http://forum.doityourself.com/ Thanks "talktokeith" Many great tips here for speaker maintenance and the home they reside in. Curently on e-bay, there's a set of Walnut Klipschhorns with a water ring stain that runs across the top of them as well...so I am not alone. In my home, nothing but artificial plants set on top of my speakers, if any at all. Thanks again and I will let all know how the various attempts to remove the stain goes, Eddy-Current PS: The handle Eddy-Current(my nickname is Eddie) was one my worker associates tagged me with. I felt honored (of course.)!! It is really a process used in examining aircraft structures for cracks and other abnormalities. Also, it can be found lurking in the core of power transformers too (producing heat). I don't know of the comic book character.

Just registered today on the Klipsch Forum. Bought my third set of Klipsch Speakers (Forte II's) yesterday off of e-bay. Hey, things are looking up !!. Currently own a set of CornWall II's and Quartets. I am happy with the looks of the e-bay Forte II's except for a very noticable water mark on the top of one of the speakers.(see the jpg) Anyone have a hint or tip on how to remove or blend this in ? Not having previously owned the speakers, I assume it was from a beverage left on the top. The finish of the Forte II speakers is Oiled Oak. Any answers to this question would be most helpful. (Already thought about placing a planter on top of the speakers to hide but it would probably vibrate off--besides, I would like to display the rich wood grain the speaker has instead of hiding it.)
