OK to remove Tweeter Grill??

Had you thought about experimenting with different fabrics or materials around the tweeter element? Or raising the height of the speaker to adjust its' balance-more mid/bass less tweeter energy.

I believe Hansen was responding to a question about Paradigm speakers, but his answer was generic. Personally, I would probably not try it on expensive speakers unless either I was for sure planning to keep the speakers for the long haul, or unless I would be willing to spring for new tweeters which could be necessary if I screwed up the operation, or if I ever wanted to sell the speakers in the future. A different tweak I would consider trying is the thick felt pad around the outside of the tweeter. Haven't heard too much about the results of that one from those who have tried it.

Sonic: The tweeters are now between the 2 mid range speakers with factory dampening material around them. They should not be raised anymore since they are already above my ear level
when seated. There is a seperate rear firing tweeter that I should try to turn down I guess...forgot about it. hmmmm?

Blueskiespbd,That can effect the tonal balance.I learned that from the VSA VR-6s.I was told to raise the rear/ambient tweeter until it begabn to effect the stability of the soundstage/ imaging,then reduce slightly.It was a very low level and can be effected by the material/construction of the back-wall.

I have been told and have read that the "tweeter grill" is more for protection of the tweeter, but clearly such a device placed over a dome must have some sonic impacts. This thread has helped me to understand what those impacts are, and why the grill may (or may not depending on the tweeter type and grill type) improve the response
