Grills make a difference with my speakers also. My designer set the speakers up with the grills and said they are meant to be on as that is how he tuned them.
Even different stands make a difference. Some speakers are more critical to change than other's.
Last year I tested to see what cable designs worked best and then sent them to 7 people with various systems and some dealers to get feedback to see weather there would be synergy problems or issues.
I have listened to several systems with Transparent cables and while they are smooth I do not think the network boxes are beneficial. They might be better in some systems ,but in others they are not. I tried to design cables which had wide synergistic reliability with out clipping the freq extremes. Pretty hard thing to do.
Good luck!
