OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level!

OK....this makes me want to take them off my DQ10's tomorrow.  They sound fantastic but look hideous, but I could learn to live with it.

Interesting Subject! I helped design my Green Mountain Imago Speakers! I remember my designer sitting on the floor and switching capacitors while I listened! I got to choose what I liked! Then the tweaks began! First Marigo Green Dots on the mids and Dyna dome tweeters! Then the ribbons were Focal I think untouched! We added foam around the dome tweeters and that gave a more open sound!  The Crossovers are in external boxes with custom Kimber Cable! Plug In Modules were used to change Crossover Points! Everything we did made a difference! Now when it came to the grills! Definitely sounded better Without Them! They call me Goldenears! I use Tubes!😋

I generally prefer mine without grills, but don't often remove them.  It's easy to imagine that some recordings would sound better with the grills.  More detail is not always necessarily better.

Well, sounds like this topic is due for removal like another, couple days back. Someone must have blown a whistle. Speaker grilles: just learning from others, nothing insightful to add.

Pending removal,  the difficulty of parody is a two-way street. Boris Johnson is a conscious self-parody who pre-empts you; Donald Trump is an unconscious self-parody who pretermits you. At least one could parody Rachel Maddow with her three "in terms of" in every sentence.

YOU PERVERTS WITH THOSE NAKED SPEAKERS!
Listening to that Jungle Noise....I'll bet it makes your....nasty parts just tingle with excitement.  You just can't resist the urge to play those sounds...loud....louder.....Louder....LOUDER!  
You pull those grilles off, so you can See the drivers shiver 'n shake.....
Pulsing with those obviously Obscene rhythms.....
It makes you want to throw off your clothes....
Wiggle and convulse, twitch and shake....stomp, wave your parts.....

This has been a PSA from your local AE/N~NAS~SsC (Audio Equipment/Naturalist~Nude Appreciation Society~Speaker subset Chapter), to provide an excuse as to why segments of our members prefer their 'reproducers' naked.  Your safety will not be compromised as a general rule.  However, if you find yourself in the company of one of our more 'extreme' members, refraining from the use of drugs and alcohol is advised.  Additional safety may be employed with the wearing of a good pair of running shoes, tasers, and 'brass knuckles'.
Extreme cases may require weaponry of your choice and skill set.

We now return you to the unscheduled program....*click*

You guys are so crazy....;)
