Sopra 2 soundstage height

I've had my Sopra 2's for several years now using a Simaudio 700i amplifier and Simaudio CD Player.  
They've improved quite a bit after a few hundred hours of play time.  Recently, I've tried to get them dialed-in better to my room which is a Townhouse...very wide so sidewall reflections aren't a factor.  I've got them pulled out into the room about 4'8" to the front tweeter with hardly any toe-in needed. I'm planning to remove the metal grill covering the tweeter as I've heard good reports about how they sound considerably better without that grill scattering the high frequencies.  Maybe the toe-in adjustment will change by removing the metal grill....we shall see.
Any comments from anyone else who removed the tweeter grill? 
They're beautiful speakers to look at and listen to.  

I too would like to hear about experience with removing the tweeter grill. I also have the 700i (killer synergy). Have now fed all digital sourcing into the Yggy A2, perfect match with Sim/Sopra combination. Also the TWL AD power cable on the Yggy has added heft to the Sopra bottom end with more air and deeper soundstaging. Great cable, highly recommended. Wonderful system synergy.
