HP had cats, but they were not allowed on the same floor as the audio systems. They lived upstairs.

Something Mr. Serblin came up with long ago. I doubt if it offers much protection for the drivers, but OTOH it does little to mess with the sound. Unlike the big clonky lumber grill frames on the recently reviewed McIntosh speakers.

  Hi Brian, the grill must resonate like the strings are supposed to do on a bass viol. If their solid they would cause a lot of diffraction also.Maybe that's why not much discussion on the grill. The emblem on the grill looks like a Las Vegas hotel sign to me...-take care...-.Mark Korda

    Hi,
    
    The grilled definitely doesn't resonate. It's like string, fairly loose, not sprung like on a musical instrument. It's just an alternate way of putting something in front of the drivers.
    
    BTW, horizontal diffraction isn't going to be much, but vertical is another issue because to hang it you need to have a hard ridge, which isn't good.

  - I think the "strings" are tuned too low to resonate - Brian H P 12:02:56 07/18/24 (0)
    Probably not much tension on them. Diffraction should be minimal, given their thin diameter and probably soft texture.
    
    I recall that Krell tried making speakers some years back, and used a similar grill.
