@whippersnapper - yes, you can order replacement grilles only without having to get a new speaker. Just give Brent a buzz at 1-866-244-8796 and he'll take care of it for you.

@avjunkee - yes, we actually have an image showign the middle grille in charcoal grey. This will be added as an option in Customize Yours, for people who want that tricked-out look.

I recommend you get the grills in purple/green/red from top to bottom, so they are most transparent to their respective frequencies.

Very cool. I wonder who's idea it was to segment the grill?

Are the grills the only difference between the left and right versions?

I like the grilles off. Especially with a nice wood finish like that.

Like Tom said, the full length grille just covers too much, but I know that is predicated on the amount of drivers.

Looks like it, otherwise would it be stereo. cool And what if you want a third for center? Or are these just for two channel, or can I conglomerate my M80's and center with Q's for the ultimate glory in listening performance?
