Do I just pull the covers off? They seem like they're on there pretty tight and I just wanna make sure so I don't break anything! (Monitor70, CS2)

Thanks!

    Kaz,

    On your cs2 and M70's just slip your fingers in between the face of the speaker cabinet and the grill. you will feel the spikes, and then just pull out slightly, move to the next, pull out slightly, move to the next, then start over until its lose.

    youll get the idea pretty quick, make sure to do both sides at once to keep everything even and there will be no troubles.

    happy to hear you got them and they are ok, wait till you get them hooked up.

    enjoy

    ^^^^^^^^

    Exactly! And once you've removed them a couple of times, it gets easier.
    Set up:

    Marantz AV8802A - Sources: BRP Panasonic 9000/CDP Emotiva ERC 3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-6, XPA-2 x 2 - Speakers: Focal/PolkAudio, Mains/2ch - Kanta No2, C - LSiM706, SS - LSiM702, WS - RTiA9, RS - RTiA9, FH - RTiA3 - Subs: Epik Empires x 2

    Cables: AQ McKenzie XLR's from CDP to AVP to amp for 2ch, Emotiva XLR's for the rest - Douglasconnection: Furutech Alpha 36 12g speaker wire for 2ch, Furez 10g speaker wire for the rest - AQ Forest48 HDMI for the display, AQ Carbon48 HDMI from BRP to AVP - VR3 filtered power cables for CDP, BRP and AVP, Emotiva power cables for the amps - AudioQuest 505 power conditioner.

    EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.

    It's stuck on there pretty good!

    1)should I use the top or bottom set of holes if I'm not bi amping?

    2)do the speakers sound better with or without the cover?

    1) does not matter there is a jumper that sends the same signal to both

    2) I like it better without grills... seems more open and forward to me.
