If I make an extra hole to fit the speaker will the swifts think it's an entrance and try to get in, or is their eyesight so good they will make out the matt...
Nick the answer will be yes. They are very curious and one bird looking at a potential nest site will draw in others to the same place The holder for my TV...
Hi Nick, Happy New Year! You can always paste or pin a piece of open weave cloth (eg canvas ) over the speaker hole. It is in fact an excellent idea to always...
Hi Amnonn, Hi Edward, Great idea with the piece of cloth, the hole won't be so dark and the swifts should leave it alone. Thank you. Hi Mark, I'll never...

Hi Amnonn, No "mono" mode in my cheapo little portable Philips AZ1022 so not looking good! Hi Mark, No speaker connectors either, headphone output only ;-(( Hi...
I decided to just do some tests and risk blowing my speaker, so to conclude, after testing out with the London Swifts CD and a music channel on the radio, and...
Hi Nick, Congratulations! I wish I could've been of more help, but I'm not much of a tech-wonder myself. Not even sure if I connected my speaker the right way,...
Hi Jochem, I did try last year with a (ridiculously cheap) pair of piezo tweeters (http://www.evsound.be/images/catalogus/3126_.jpg) not set up close enough to...
Hi Nick, Righto, well output of the headphones socket will be far too weak to power the speakers (think how big they are compared to headphones) but don't let...
Hi Edward, You'd be surprised, the volume isn't bad at all! Last summer I often turned the CD player down to less than full volume as I was worried about...
