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.

Why would you want grills on?

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

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 can attest to the fact that this is true having gone through tons of other speakers.

alan shaw is a smart guy, like all pretty successful, knowledgeable people, he is set in his ways, holds his beliefs firmly and isn’t afraid to state it as such

i don't agree with some his beliefs (e.g., all amps sound the same, just get a big powerful one and you are done) but i can see how and why he holds them
