jimjimbo Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 How would these metal grills affect the SQ/acoustics of the woofers? Recommended, not?

richieb Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Jim, the grey/orange EAW horned “Frankensteins” I owned used expanded metal for grills covering the entire front motor board, not the individual driver(s). I can’t imagine they made a perceptible difference in sonics but I’m not one to run an analyzer with and without them mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I am really not a big fan of these metal grills, but was just wondering what the effect was on the sound quality. I’m actually leaning toward looking into getting fabric grills for these somewhere, somehow, by someone… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. https://www.parts-express.com/Steel-Mesh-2-Piece-Grill-for-15-Speaker-Black-260-430 @Chief bonehead I have metal grilles on my 942’s. Rockhound set me up with his guy. I was also worried about how it would affect the sound. They’ve been installed for about 5 months now and haven’t noticed any vibration/ negative affects on sound. I’m very happy with the purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So Jim you have made the transition from 1 15" woofer to two and see the difference. Wait until you hear the KPT 415-LF's. Nothing quite like watching someone get sucked into the dark side of Pro Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Well, that’s not quite the case. I don’t necessarily get sucked into a tradition or a transition from one side or the other. My desire is to experiment with different configurations and systems and amplifiers and speakers just for the hell of it basically… I am honestly not “chasing“ anything, it’s just a matter of seeing what is new to me and having some fun with it. personally, I think having a specific audio “goal“ is somewhat counterproductive, at least for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wanted to sit next to the 32' organ pipes and that was a specific goal. I wanted that realism and those double 15" woofer bins you now have are what made me wonder just what was possible.
