Have you ever considered purchasing a new set of speakers just so you could listen to different sounding speakers, mostly because you are always listening to music on the same speakers, day in day out?

No, Ravi, I change the music, not the speakers.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I used to constantly lust for new speakers but no more since I got the Maggies.
I live the life I love and I love the life I live.

I used to till I got my M3s. Now I keep trying out all sorts of music to see if anything would prove them incompetent.

I'm not going to buy any, but one day when I have more time, I'm going to find someone near me with Rockets. I understand they have an entirely different sound, but I want to hear it once.

That's what I did.

I get sick of the looks of a speaker, but not really the sound...
I always alternate between using the grilles and not using them when they are not in use. Of course, during use, the grilles come off  .

Okay, I'm going to sound like a total idiot but is removing the grille supposed to help? I wouldn't have known that....
Sometimes I wonder if there's any point in me purchasing all this equipment when I figure out I don't know the most obvious things!

Heh, can't you tell the difference in the sound?
Speakers tend to sound muffled when they have their grille's on. There are some exceptions to this, however, as some are made to sound better with grilles on (as is the case with Paradigm Studio 40v2 speakers).
The dispersion patterns are also messed up, so those super-nice curves of on and off axis response you see in the SoundStage! reviews get warped (mainly only in the high frequencies, though).

I've always had garbage at home..I'm not sure covers would have made much difference one way or the other! When I finally pull the trigger this will be the first quality equipment I've had.
