    How do you clean your speakers or equipment? Do you use regular towel or microtowel (prevent stratches)

    what kind of chemical do you use to clean your speakers or equipment? do you use buff machine to buff your speakers? :p

    I don't think you want to use anything that is harsh.

    What speakers do you have, wood, vinyl or ?

    I usually don't get any gunk on my equipment so it's mostly dust/finger prints on piano finishes. I just go over it lightly with a microfiber towel. If need be, a slightly damp one, but that's about it.

    Center: Energy RC-LCR
    Surrounds: Energy Veritas 1.0CM

    I use a camera cloth to dust and one of my wife's blush brushes around the drivers and tweeters (all new ones).
