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


My recently purchased Focal Maestro Utopia speakers look so good with their black front baffle and side and back Camara white, I couldn’t even think about removing the grills to hear what they sound like with them off. With nobody around to voice their displeasure to seeing those drivers I boldly went were no man, or in this case myself, said he would never go and removed the grills. Hello, said the speakers
this is what I really sound like. I might not be as pretty, but love me for what really counts, how I sound,
not how I look. I have to say I love them even more and they’re not looking too bad either!

Since the mid 1980s all my speakers (many) have been DIY.  Ev en though I have a supply of good grill cloth stored in my work shop I have never even considered putting grills over drivers.  My current favorites, tri-amplified fully horn loaded DSP controlled three ways have no need for grills.
@kenjit 
you can advice to remove the drivers., and put it back later

HUGE Difference  IMHO
Welcome to Audiogon, where its April Fool's all day, every day, 24/7/365. 

Trying to come up with an April Fool's joke here is like trying to parody a liberal. Just give up. Can't be done. Don't even try. And even if you do, no one will get it anyway.
I have always found speakers I owned to sound better with grills off, but when I owned Spendor SP100, I was told that they were voiced with the grills on, and they always sounded better that way to me. I also owned the Spendor 9/1, and they were the same story. 
You can have my grills when you pry them off my cold dead hands

parody not so difficult
