"naked" listeners

A lot of speakers sound better with the grilles off, but Avalons(what I run) use the grilles as an integral part of the system, yea they sound better with the grilles intact, sort of weird. I am sure a feather/static duster would do the trick for keeping your drivers clean.

My theory is dust will not settle on vibrating diaphragms, so put the grills back on when you are not listening. I am genius, no?

Swifer *charged* cloths. I clean my speaker cabinets, cones, and "gear" with them. Though technicaly I use the Endust badged product, since I can get it a little cheaper in my area.

I couldn't have said it better than Blkadr above,and if you leave the grills off over night and dust gets on them I would think as soon as you start to play them the dust will get blown off and settle on the floor.
