AudiogoN Forums: Tailoring tweeter output

Tailoring tweeter output

Many companys recommend listening with grill on, like Avalon or Dynaudio. On stereophile measurements, the grill changes direct output from the speaker significantly. I am experimenting with this, any recommendation on specific material. Does the reflected from the padding/grill sound create any issues?

THanks

I used to listen with grills off. Now I prefer the sound with the grills on. With the grills on I hear the music. The speaker becomes more seamless as if the speaker grill is the first stage of room treatment.

Sure, you might hear more detail in some area of the sound without the grills, but it be at a price.
