Grills off or on sounds better? - 04/06/09 02:33 AM
Sorry to ask what has probably been asked ad nauseum. But, I did search first and found nothing here.
It seems that some people say some speakers sound significantly better without the grills. I just took the grills off the M22s, while listening to the radio no less, and the improvement seemed dramatic. It surprised me.
I took off one grill cause the speaker fell (when I was touching up paint on the wall). The grill got a little fold in it that I was able to fix. In other words I had no intention of listening without the grill. But they do look cool without grills - so maybe that made me think they sounded better?.
Anyone else have this experience with M22s? Is there any objective research to support this idea?
I had always thought there must be a slight improvement without grills - but not enough to bother with. Now I think otherwise.
Now back to your regularly scheduled meaningful posts.....
