She loves me she loves me not!

So - as in the saying above when de-pedaling a daisy...

Speaker grills on speaker grills off.

The reasoning for my question if I keep them off inevitably I will damage them moving them around when in the garage- -forget where I put them - and bitch cause they take up space.

Thank you for the education.

For all the money you spend to buy the KEF Reference series speakers, they don’t even come with grills.

I tried my Revels grills on/off when I first purchased them. The grills had a noticeable detrimental effect on the sound. Luckily the baffles have the same finish as the rest of the cabinets. I also know where the grills are, on the top shelf, in the back of the garage, with all of my saved component cartons.

I think the OP is talking about accidentally damaging or losing the grill covering if they are left off and stored somewhere like the garage.  We can’t help with that.  One has to listen to determine which sounds better, and if it is grill covering off that sounds better, and the look is acceptable, the storage issue really matters only for the re-sale value of the speaker.  I would keep them off myself, if the speakers sound better that way.

There wouldn’t be an issue if the speakers only come naked, like Audio Note speakers; even the ones well up into six figures are naked.
