Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?

One of the things that came to my mind yesterday was how tight were the woofer screws of my N805. I noticed that the screws were very slightly "loose" so I decided to tighten them all the way down. Now I am worried as to if I made a mistake by doing this and if the sound can be affected. Subjetively I did not find any diference in sound after this, but I was wondering if B&W intentionally leaves the screws a tad loose for some purpose? What do you guys think? Thanks for your thoughts.

MattyBumpkin, feeling more like Martha Stewart right now then any Dixie Chick!

Thanx for not fitting my neck to be hung over just one thread gone astray.

If so all I ask for everyone is a Slipknot.

The screws on the back of the Nautilus drivers are not only to hold the driver in place, but, they are also calibrated at the factory to prevent overshoot.

I would advise that you contact your local dealer and have the tension reset within factory tolerances.

Happy Listening,

No offense to anybody here, as I've been wanting to say this for a long time, but I just couldn't find the right thread to say it. I figure this one is as good as any.

Does that work?

Hey, Audiobugged, nice recovery! Your stand up shtick had me laughing all day! All is forgiven...you are no longer banished to 24 hours straight of Brittany Silicon an In*Suck played at maximum volume through your Koss Pro 4AA headphones. Cheers!
