question about grills....


Hi all,

Just bought a pair of Quad 22L2s, and must say they sound pretty nice right out the box. But I have a question for the experts.

Do must of y'all listen with our without the grills on? Also, if I leave the speakers exposed, how careful to I have to be with them? I have two cats who will most likely be interested in sniffing them and bumping into them. Are they super fragile and shouldn't even be touched, or can they handle a little bumping from out kitties? The first speakers I loved -- a way too-expensive pair of Audio Note didn't have grilles, so I'm curious whether there is any sonic benefits to not using them.

Thanks in advance!

My current speakers don't have grills, but my last pair did, and I left them off on the grounds that the grills made the speakers look more like scratching posts -- thought the material might be just the thing to attract a scratchy-minded Kitty. Have never had trouble with scratching that way. There have been some threads here on Kitty control. John
My worry was not about grill damage, but about speaker (or Kitty!) damage caused if the grills were used as "handles" to pull the speakers over. John
