Cleaning (dusting) Your Monitors (speakers)???
so after a few years, my monitors have assembled a nice little collection of dust on the cones, whats the best way to deal with this? bottled air shit? paper towel (seems sketchy)?, play some bumpin bass though them for a few hours? give me a hand here folks! thanks.

A soft feather duster, but be careful!

If you're careful you should be able to use your vacuum cleaner with the soft brush attachment without hurting anything.

I use a small, VERY light duster that resembles 6" very fine nylon fibers (I guess that's because it IS 6" very fine nylon fibers...)
You spin it a few times between your palms and dust pretty much "jumps" on it due to the static. A very light pass over the cones, then it's outside to spin it clean.

Would it piss you off if I used my shop vac with its soft attachment? That works great without fucking things up...
