Speaker covers.

[Sixty2]

Having moved to a new house, there is only certain placement for the speakers. Unfortunately, this means they fall under direct sunlight for most if the day. I cover them with rugs but am looking for a more bespoke solution. Any one know where I can get felt/cotton/velvet speaker covers made? I do remember reading something around this topic on one of The Forums, but cannot find it! Thanks for looking. 62.

Can you not diffuse the light with net curtains?

[Sixty2]

Thanks Barry, though not a net curtain fan really. We do have blinds, thought room is obviously dark when they are down, which we don’t want.

I can understand that, I'm not keen on net curtains myself. Are your blinds vertical, so you can adjust the angle as the sun moves during the day?

Failing that, I'm sure some loose covers could be easily made for you if you provide the dimensions of the speaker and choose the material.

Blinds are vertical, so it’s either or. Thanks Grant, I’ll check it out.

Check online for local curtain alterations, dress makers etc. Basically someone with a sewing machine and knows how to use it..
Look local for the material you want, measure your speakers and send all the person to stitch together...

Thanks Guys! Just found ‘Digital Deck Covers’- looking good, with various options on materials.

I have the same problem and ‘Digital Deck Covers’ look ideal.

[Sixty2]

Looks good Martin. When I get a minute, I’ll order some. Made in Denver Co, my favourite city!

You may be thinking of Joseph (Zsolt) who posted as szigony on the wam. He is an upholsterer and made some covers for his harbeths and was thinking of selling them commercially.
Szigony hasn't posted on the wam for a while, however if you contact Alan Shaw at Harbeth , he should have contact details as Jo exhibited his speaker covers at bristol show 2017.

[Sixty2]

Ah, many thanks Graham, sure he’s the man. Yes. I’ll contact Alan Shaw.

Cool Mark. Please let me know how you go and if Joseph has a website, he mentioned he was going to set one up back in 2017.
