I put the grills on whenever there is a risk that visitors might be sneaky cone pokers or port fondlers.
Oh, right- you mean when Peter (pmbuko) comes over?

Never listened nore felt the reason to even try without the grils. Peronally I never got why people do pic's without them. They clearly look cleaner and more esthetic than with big circle things with no colour or texture consistancey with the rest of the speaker.

Randy,
I did indeed, and it's away up at 16 kHz and above, where musically there ain't much happening--a few harmonics of piccolo, violin and brushed cymbals.
But those harmonics are very much lower than the fundamental harmonic content of the same instruments, most of which is below 10 kHz.
Moreover, if you're male and over 25, it's highly unlikely you can hear anything above 15 kHz.
So don't worry about it.

Wow, this is crazy, am I the only one here that actually leaves them OFF 100% of the time? I think the EP500 just looks WAY too good to cover up, that goes for the M22s as well (and my soon to arrive M2s will match aesthetically with the M22s and will look better).
I have thought about keeping the grills on, I don't have any kids etc, I love how the speakers look naked.

I prefer the grills off on my speakers not for acoustics but for aesthetics. One exception though is in my HT where the big silver cones can reflect light, so I leave the grills on the EP subs.

Grills ON - 100% of the time. We have two very vibrant Golden Retrievers with very active tails, so the grills stay on. I have had them grappling with each other and knock one of my M60's over...Caught it, but not before partially denting one corner...Stupid dogs. Grills ON! WhatFurrer

If I take my grills off, our younger son Nathan heads right over and trys to poke in the woofer caps. Make sure you have a vacuum cleaner/attachment to suck them right back out.

On all the time. Just better looking, IMHO.

I'm afraid my vacuum cleaner would just rip out the cones if I tried that...
