I always take off the removable grills on my speakers, always thought they muted the sound. In fact, I usually leave them in the closet and only put them on the speakers when I have clumsy guests over. The grills main function appears to be to protect the speakers from physical harm or dust, at the expense of sound degration.
My question is: What is the main function of the foam that's in front of the headphone drivers? Does it negatively effect the sound too or does it have a "tuning function" in that it corrects the response of the drivers?
Stop me from taking out the foam/cloth in front of the drivers of my 580s and 7506s!
