Has any one ordered speakers without grills? I do not want the holes where the grills are inserted to "deface" the look of my speakers.

I keep hoping Axioms v3 speakers will have Magnetic grills, which would eliminate the holes.

I'm sure Axiom could accommodate such a request. Call them.

In my fantasies, after I have a full Axiom 7.1 system, I'd "upgrade" each of the speaker to high-gloss black. If I could have high-gloss black with no holes...

If you talked to axiom about this I am sure they can accomodate your request.

What effect, if any, would the grills on/off make to the higher fq's?
I've wondered about when a speaker designer worries about baffle difraction, using radius' or angles on the leading edges of the baffle face, but then places a grill/grill frame over it. Wouldn't the frame on the grill negate the use of the applied radius/angle on the baffle?
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

The difference with grilles on or off is negligible, as determined by Axiom's own double-blind testing.
