grills or no grills on your speakers..matters?

In my case, I have the Sonus Faber Evolutions with the cool string grilles so for me...its grilles on all the way! Looks are all that matters, for speakers and porn stars! :)

1) When I'm being taken away from all that ails me in this world via my system, I don't see the speakers, so the question is moot.
2) My speakers didn't come with grills, so again, moot.
3) If I had speakers with grills, just the thought that the grills would interfer with the sound would be enough for me to loose them.

All the best,

I have Harbeths and the grills are not removable per Harbeth! They were designed with the grills on!

music on? grills off.
actually, I've gotten so lazy that the grills are always off and in storage now. ;^)

Depends on the speakers. The Aerials in my bedroom have the grills on, the Meadowlark Kestrels in the listening room are sans grills. This is done based on listening preference.
