> Has anyone tried redying speaker cloth? The speaker cloth on the R46-B is
quite different in that it has a metal mesh sandwiched inside of two layers
of cloth.
> The speaker cloth on the front of my R46-B is pretty faded.
> It's gone a dark brown colour. I thought reversing it would be a good
trick but did not look quite right (you can see the previous impression of
the speaker).
> I thought maybe I'd get some black fabric dye and have a go at redying the
cloth. I'm a bit worried that it might be a waste of effort.
