I recently noticed that the silicon seal holding the crossover board to it's case on one of my SBL's had come away and it was loose inside. Apart from having difficulty fully locating the speaker plugs without pushing the board in further, is there any cause for concern. I don't want to silicon it myself as I'll probably make a right mess.
Cheers

The silicon hasn't come away completely, just around the bottom half, and I didn't notice any signs of overheating.
Is it the same stuff as in the re-sealing kit for the SBL?

Ade.
Silicon is Silicon, the Sbls may come with some fancy german brand but its all the same, and don't let anyone tell you different!

It's not silicon, it's glue. I had the same problem as you - the bottom bit came loose, but you need to remove the old glue, clean the edges and re-do the job. Best send the PXO to Naim if you at all worried by this. Do not use the silicone for the gasket for this!

Plus in my experience of using the hot melt, at least the standard glue seems to have an aversion to plastic, that is to say it comes away easily, I don't know if a 'plastic' hot melt glue is avilable.
