I need ONE grill for my Monitor 10As.
I took them out of storage monday and noticed swelling and warping on one of my grills.
The one I need is the grill that is about 2 inches short of the bottom of the cabinet.
The "PolkAudio" logo is mounted on the lower cabinet and not on the grill itself.
DImensions for the grill are
27" long and 15 3/4" wide.
Thank you,

    I see what the problem is now. It didn't show up under low light in the storage area. Nasty. The camera shows it up big time.
    Now I've got to figure out what happened. It wasn't like that when I put them back in storage.

    The cabinets show NOTHING in the way of stains or damage on them. I just wonder IF I sat the grills where they could get damaged at one time or another.

    Ouch!! I hope the cabinets fared better. Maybe make a new one from some MDF and some new fabric??

    What is MDF? the reason I ask is that I have the same thing going on with my grill covers with regards to swelling & warping.

    Thanks for the reply and I apologize but I don't know what MDF is or stands for. Would it be easier to just try and flatten them out? and if so any suggestions?

    Once they swell up they're destroyed. MDF= Medium Density Fiberboard.
    IF it ever gets wet it's all over. Kaput!

    BUMP! I still need a grill. I want an original if possible.
    I know I can make one and I've made many unobtainable frames before but I'm getting pretty backed up again and making a grill frame is low on the "important" list.

    I understood that some of the grills were still available from Polk....maybe I am wrong.
