Tailoring tweeter output


Many companys recommend listening with grill on, like Avalon or Dynaudio. On stereophile measurements, the grill changes direct output from the speaker significantly. I am experimenting with this, any recommendation on specific material. Does the reflected from the padding/grill sound create any issues?

RAAL uses 2 foam blocks to adjust radiation pattern these reduce output slightly. Maybe sim will work. But better to just use a attenuator on ribbon if its to hot near-field. Or replace loudspeaker many ribbon loudspeakers do run tweeters hot since at distance they reduce in level. I use designs with user adjustment so can be used near or normal set ups. Fostex r100t is very good for attenuation.
