Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners To grille or not to grille?

I used to have the grills off for about 8 months as I like the look of the speakers naked
But about a months ago, my little one started crawling so I had to put the grills back on. Well I don't know if it is a placebo effect but I have the impression that they sounded better before. The grills are supposed to be acoustically transparent so it could just be me, however, it would be interesting to take measurements with the grills on and off.
