Makeup blush brush. Use the same type for cleaning the surface of CDs and DVDs every time before inserting into player. (you can get your girlfriend or wife to buy a nice one for you. the very short, really fat round ones are super.)
The brush is very soft, really fat, and easy to use.
I don't have cone speakers anymore except for the 5.1 setup. but I used to clean my B&W 805s with the brush and it worked very well.
As for tightening down woofer screws, yeah, a littl goes a long way. A gentle even pressure setting all around on those screws.
