question about grills....

Hi all,

Just bought a pair of Quad 22L2s, and must say they sound pretty nice right out the box. But I have a question for the experts.

Do must of y'all listen with our without the grills on? Also, if I leave the speakers exposed, how careful to I have to be with them? I have two cats who will most likely be interested in sniffing them and bumping into them. Are they super fragile and shouldn't even be touched, or can they handle a little bumping from out kitties? The first speakers I loved -- a way too-expensive pair of Audio Note didn't have grilles, so I'm curious whether there is any sonic benefits to not using them.

Thanks in advance!

Didn't we do this already?

In any case, I would definitely leave the grills on if you have any concern at all about the cats paying attention to them. Let them destroy the grills.

Properly designed speakers are voiced with their grills in place.

If you have curious kitties I would leave the grills on.

As far listning with grills on or off, I would let my ears be the judge. For myself, I usually leave the grills on.
