grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?

Depends on the speakers. When I had the original Dyn C1's they sounded much better with the grills off (soundstage got wider and ever so slightly clearer sounding). Then I upgraded to the C1 Signatures and the grills on or off made very little difference. I usually left them on the Sig's to keep the dust off the drivers. My current speakers have no grills.

In my case I have always found that the music sounds better with the grills off. When I remove the grills it sounds like a veil has been removed and I'm a bit closer to hearing the music a bit clearer.
If I owned a speaker where that was not the case I would deffinately leave the grills on.

Polk432 has it right. It depends on the system, the speaker, the grill.

For headphones, grills off. Definitely.

What do you think???? Who gives a sh#^! what I think?
