I posted the thread and then it dissapered. So I post it again. Do not know so good how this works.
Have anyone tried to change the fabric on the frets to some kind of crushed velvet?
I know it is a tad rare but I thought it would look cool. I am just thinking about how much the velvet fabric will block the sound. Opinions?
Well my project at the moment is to change frets on a pair of 8000 and a pair of 4000 to dark blue velvet. And the cast iron bases on the 8000 will get covered in gold leaf.
Anyone has som *** sell, *** would not be a problem since it will be changed anyway.
Also would be super if anyone had the *** as well for sale.
Really want to be able to go back to original style as well so a double setup of those parts would be preferable.
And regarding the bases, any success covering in gold leaf for anyone?
Will post pictures when I gotten a little bit on the way
**** EDIT by Dillen
I bought both gold leaf and copper leaf, not sure what will look best.
The copper leaf actually had a beautiful rich tone, more like rosé gold than copper actually.
Trying to add photos but not sure how to.
Using an iphone for writing so assuming i dont have the same options as if I would be infront of a computer.
Hi DanTop,
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with this type of speaker styling, but I just wanted to say this project sounds very interesting - please post some pictures once you get the work done!
Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve
I sure will👍🏻
Just need to find the parts for it and change it up, since I prefer to keep what I have now original.

Ok Dillen.
Sorry about the initial mentioning of it. But now I know
I have a pair of BL8000, always thought they might look good with a kvadrat acoustic fabrics on it. Good luck with your project
Yes the Kvadrat fabrics are beautiful. Especially that new moss green colour
Here are a couple of links to copper and gold leaf options.
and also a link to the type of colour on the velvet i found today and plan to use.
I also found an amazing deep green velvet. Which made me think about going with green instead of blue.
Opinions would be appreciated 😊

I tried to post the photos straight in here but i can not get it to worl.
i put the photos in one album in my profile but when Inchoose the photo option in the reply, my photos dont show when i click the album.
Perhaps because I am using an iPhone and for some reasons that conflicts with the webpage?
The blue velvet looks very luxurious but the green colour is very beautiful and feels a bit different and perhaps more edgy.
I believe this type of green is called Bottle Green.

Anyone out there got any experience changing the fabric on the frets to velvet?
