Hales Design Group Speakers...Removing the Grills

I am looking for instructions on removing the grills from Hales Design Group speakers without trashing the material. I'd also like to be able to put them back on :). I found some instructions suggesting that you lay them on their back with some books to space the binding posts off the ground...any more technique than that and pulling/prying? How are they actually held on?

Just grab the grills with one hand on each side and slide them up and off. Easy when you know how.

Have you actually removed the grills on HDG speakers? They do not simply slide up and off either vertically, or laying on their backs on the ground. The grill is actually just a sock over a metal frame which is attached to the speaker body.

It depends on the speaker. I own Hales T-8s and Hales Cinema Centers. On these speakers, Audioparts Inc. accurately described the process. Just grab the grills from the bottom and slide them upwards. For the T-8s, of course, make sure you have sufficient ceiling space (approx. 8.5 feet).

The speakers have something like a big rubber band all around the metal frame to secure the grill cloth. You basically grab it by a corner and pull it out carefully. They are a pain in the *%@! to put them back, and have them look good. It can be done but this is not something I would want to do frequently.
