Depends on the speakers. The Aerials in my bedroom have the grills on, the Meadowlark Kestrels in the listening room are sans grills. This is done based on listening preference.
this depends on the speaker designer's intentions. I have Vandersteen who strongly recommends them on - the grills are a part of the performance design as well as aesthetics.
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.
