When Chris told me about the Nexxia cloth, I remember him saying he used the upholsterer in the next unit to do this work.

I've had a crazy work project for the last 18 months so I've had not time to progress refurbishing the grills on the M100s or the M20s.

When I did a test run with the M20s, I concluded that you probably do it in two stages. Clamp and glue the cloth to the top, stretch and clamp and glue the cloth to bottom of the frame. Once the glue (probably copydex) has set, repeat for the left and right. I have a set of right angle clamps which were ideal for rebuilding the M20 frames.

The shape of the M100 frames means G-clamps will be more flexible.

The other thing to check with M100 frames. Look around the inside of the frame to see if any of the pins holding the frame together are visible, and if they are remove and replace them. If you leave them in place they will damage the speaker. (I need to take a photo to explain this better.)

I think cloth that stretches evenly in all directions is preferable, plus more skill than I have!

SimplySpeakers.com a useful site for all things speaker/grille.

Many years ago I got a replacement for DSP 5000 from them and it was perfect.

I bought some cloth from simply speakers when I was in the States recently, was advertised as 2 way stretch, but after getting it home and having a 'dry' go at stretching the material over the frames, well, there is no way I could see it working 😩
