Not entirely surprised
I've noticed in the last few years many speaker makers now offer grills as a billable option and not included as a feature
My initial reaction was this was sort of price gouging the customer to help increase revenue
Since I no longer have young children in the household, I typically park the grills in the corner and prefer to listen without them
My current thinking is pleased that the grills are an option and allows the speaker maker to charge me only for what I use
I've seen the cost for grills for towers range from $70-150 or approx 7% of the overall cost of a $2000 set of speakers
I like the idea of only be charged for what I use, like going the way of the ashtray in a new car. Why should a nonsmoker have a cost included for something they do not use, while the smoker still has the option to add an ashtray. Only the person that uses the part, pays to do so
That's a win-win imho
