grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?

Depends on the speaker and the grill. Off for most for sound..looks are secondary unless you date porn stars. Then it's grills off.

In my case, I have the Sonus Faber Evolutions with the cool string grilles so for me...its grilles on all the way! Looks are all that matters, for speakers and porn stars! :)

1) When I'm being taken away from all that ails me in this world via my system, I don't see the speakers, so the question is moot.
2) My speakers didn't come with grills, so again, moot.
3) If I had speakers with grills, just the thought that the grills would interfer with the sound would be enough for me to loose them.

All the best,

I have Harbeths and the grills are not removable per Harbeth! They were designed with the grills on!

music on? grills off.
actually, I've gotten so lazy that the grills are always off and in storage now. ;^)
