Baffles warping

I've been gleefully listening to my AirForce MK II's for several months now (after a painfully long and tedious break-in period) while otherwise occupied with the issues we encounter in everyday life.

In the last couple of weeks, (since the weather began to change), I'd noticed something less pleasant about my system. I suspected EVERYTHING except my speaker system (bought about $500.00 in footers, suspension tweeks, CD treatments)...and not a lot of improvement (or degradation)

The other day, I opened up the shades and the sun (which NEVER shines directly on ANYTHING hI-fI) did something funny on my piano black treble horns....that it didn't do to the rest of the baffle...

To my HORROR, I noticed some WARP-AGE.... across the top and along the length (height) of the baffles...each one slightly different, and differences on each top and side.

My question is this:

Can I use some channel steel / aluminum / brass (like shelf brackets) on the back edges of the baffles... to correct this warp-age ?

And if not, what is the thickest solid wood baffle I can use to avoid this problem in the furtue?


Bent-out-of-shape !!!
