Nautilus 805 setup question

Just got a pair of 805's and while fiddling around with placement, etc. I noticed that removing the grilles seems to improve clarity a little bit, but at the same time the speakers tend to reveal their position much easier; the soundstage is thus "distorted" left (speaker), right (speaker) and center become somehow "source points" instead of an evenly distributed soundstage in front of the listener. To make a long story short, the speakers don't "dissapear" so well anymore.
So is it grilles on or off? Similar experiences? any advice on tweaking/setup is also welcome.
Thanks

Did you also take off the grilles of the tweeters?
Did you put the supplied foams on top of the tweeters?

Taking the grilles off makes the tweeter look unlike a microphone. Another tweak makes N805 easier to drive for SET is temporarily taking out the woofer & adjusting the position of the foams inside so that the foams do not block the back wave of the woofer.
