grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?


Yeah, I am asking again.
I leave them off because they look better.
I am not totally convinced they sound better.

What you wise sages think?

Wolf-Garcia, I believe my Preludes do better than any other speakers I've owned with grills on.
I really don't need the grills on my Preludes as they do have screens on the tweeters...I dust the woofers from time to time as tiny dust particles do not deserve to ride around on my drivers. I put new grill cloth on my sub as it had been damaged by the previous owner, and I can't imagine it blocking anything under its 50 hz or so frequency range...so it stays.
I'll add that when my grills are off and people come to visit, they're drawn to the speakers like a magnet (no pun intended). With grills on, they sit down or head to the kitchen because they known where I keep the scotch.
Grills on. My pet hamster crawled into the bass reflex tube. The devil to pay to get him out.
