Plastic ring over tweeter opinion


I was looking at the Mapleshade Audio website and they recommend:

"Remove your speaker's cloth or foam grill. Snip off any plastic phase ring in front of the tweeter. You'll hear as much as a 100% improvement in treble."

I wonder what members think of this "tweek"...it seems rather irreversible.

My preference is to tend to stick with what the speaker manufacturer intended or recommends. I use the same logic with power cords - what comes with the component is acceptable to me.

My logic is this: I know far less about these things than the equipment manufacturer's do. I have already made a careful component selection leading to a $$$ purchase. If I find myself beginning to second guess the manufacturer's design choices, my preference would be to change component altogether rather than make any irreversable modifications. (an item that is modified from the original may be harder to sell second hand)
