thanks, Warren.

As for the cloth,

1. yes it is held by sheer pressure of the speaker against that felt ring.
2. I also noticed that my cloth which ever way you install it shows two areas that has no pattern on it. If you install it vertically the sides will show no pattern, if otherwise - then top and bottom.
Given the fact the cloth is glued to the cardboard I am not sure how it could shrink and why in only one dimension.


This is the image from the 111 now on eBay: you could also see some pattern-free areas at the top and the bottom, but mine is more pronounced.
