phillmartin Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Does anyone know why the grills are fixed and can't be removed? I've been spying these for surrounds as I have a 3.1 system currently. It seems odd that I can't show off and match the gorgeous copper woofers with the rest of the system.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2017 Welcome to the forums. Are you sure they are fixed? Looking online, they show holes for the grill pegs. The only series I knew of that did not have removable grills were the Icon Series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2017 Even doing a google image search for Klipsch R14, every photo shows with the grills off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted January 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2017 My bad....I didn't see the "S" in your title. I'm not as familar with the new lines as I am with the older Reference and Reference II Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkfan9 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I assume somehow it's cheaper to make it non removable. And maybe they don't finish the baffle to save costs? I'm sure you could remove it... Just might not be so easy to put back on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Looked at images for the R14s and no go on removeable grill. Saw one that was labeled as one but, it is another RS model. Hmnn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would not try and remove a non-removable grill. Would likely result in cosmetic damage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerardb63 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Unfortunately, in the manual it does say that covers for the R14S are not removable. I have a pair too and wish they'd come off so I could show them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a version of the Icons that didn't have removable grills? My former KF-28's and KC-25 had removable grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillmartin Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 My later post clarified it was the r14s rather than r14m. I ended up buying a pair of RS-10 which should compliment my room well. And they have removable grills. I just forgot to get a wall mount for them, so I have to wait another day while it gets delivered.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is slightly unfinished inside. You may have to add some satin or semi gloss black paint to finish the look off. See photo below.
