metal grill to cloth

[echo]

I'm considering buying a pair of 8NTs to put in a room that is mostly decorated with authentic art deco pieces, an era that predates metal grills! Anyone have any success in replacing the metal grills with acoustic cloth? Advice appreciated

Yes,
it can be streached over the bracket with the grille removed...

"streached"? Ouch! Sounds painful! :lol:

Thanks! Got any leads on good-looking acoustic cloth?

Fairly loosely woven or knitted acrylic cloths are the best for sound transmittal.

If you choose something fancy or a tight weave - you will muffle the sound,. particularly in the mid and high frequencies.
