    Anyone have an effective method for cleaning the tiny holes in our speaker grills? I've tried the tape method but it didn't work as the particles seem to not be recessed. Still to try vacuum and/or compressed air.

    Thanks in advance...

    I've had luck with compressed air.

    Becareful with this though. Fairly strong compressed air can kill any speaker cone.

    I used a small brush with soft/fine tips and ran it along the speakers as I'm blowing a can of compressed air into it. Worked great for me.
