Grills ON or Grills OFF?

With my Signature S2s, I prefer to listen with the grills on. Even though the highs are ever so slightly rolled off (which, with this speaker is not necessarily a bad thing), the dispersion and the ability of the speakers to disappear is better. Plus, I like the protection factor. How do you conduct your listening sessions, and why?

Grills are like bras. No need for them unless children are around.

Depends on the speakers. Thiel CS 2's use the grills as part of the design.

On, because with the grilles off, they're ugly. I'll gladly sacrifice that last 10th of reproductive quality so that I'm not looking at a speaker thinking, "Boy, that's ugly."

grills off when listening, grills on when the system is not on
