Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?

Curious whether anyone prefers their Harbeths this way. I would imagine it's room dependent-- they are obviously voiced with grilles on but if your room is unusual (like mine is) maybe they sound better this way. The highs are getting eaten up by furniture and old ears and a strange loft type room at my place so it's working here.

i agree, there is a saying, when you are finally done trying all the speakers out there, likely you will have a set of harbeths

i think there is a good degree of truth to this...

every time input the grilles back on i hear something wierd, off putting, very slight but noticeable. possible phase or cancellations?
i like the tonal balance fine but not the sight issues.
i have tried grilles on many many times but they do not stay on for long. same thing with both models of harbeths i have owned.

Did you manage to avoid reading every other post in this thread, before posting that question?
