She loves me she loves me not!

Like a broken record, I suggest you use 'reality' to help you make a decision.

A sound pressure meter, tripod mounted at seated ear level.

A test tone CD with selectable individual frequency bands.

Chart the results 'on' and 'off'. Differences?

Despite differences, Preferences: Visually/Audibly?

inexpensive SPL meters work just fine, even if not calibrated, relative differences +/- is comparative reality.

make sure it has a tripod mount

I have this excellent CD with 29 individual frequencies

There must be others, perhaps I could help you find a copy.

@baylinor I could not agree more, about the nice set, lol.

But, I meant like a sexy Italian motorcycle without a fairing. My old Ducati used to have a full fairing, but the look without one is called naked.

: )

Of all the speakers I have owned, scores of them, I have only had1 pair that didn't sound better with the grills off. My Infinity Renaissance 90's sound much better with the grills on. I have  therefore found it well worth it, soundwise, to enclose most other grills in plastic bags, and tuck them away in a safe place. Cupboard or wherever.
