Nice abstract shots. Nice speakers. BTW, speaker cones WILL attract dust like you wouldn't believe. I'll take a couple of shots of my speakers and post ;)

Here's 2 closeups of my speakers - Sonus Faber Electa Amators (high end stuff, not cheap).

Nice shots. I'll try posting some macros of various parts of my gear - waiting for B&H to deliver tomorrow the rest of my rig - Delta Flash Bracket, Canon Off-Shoe cord and Sto-fen for the 580ex. I need to better illuminate my path when using the 100mm macro.

Doesn't all that dust make the speakers sound, er, um, fuzzy? :mrgreen:

Nice clear shots all around though.

Yes, it's a soft dome, rated to 600w I believe as well, so it's super heavy duty. 1" dome, 8" treated woofer, reflex loaded (rear) and standmounted on Sonus Faber's own stands. Looks a treat, I'll try and get a better shot of them to give you an idea. They're only small, but are quite heavy. I really wanted a pair of Extremas (or the lovely Guarneri Homage), but they were like 20 grand brand new and 10 grand 2nd hand...more than I wanted to spend.

Technically dust will slow the response times down on the speakers, making them sound 'sluggish'. I've tried cleaning them and have given up, the dust just doesn't get removed, and what little does just comes back...I rarely use the system these days anyways.
