For tidyness, mine are on most of the time. At times, I like to remove them and look at the drivers especially when every thing is moving to the beat of music
Through the years, I never tired from this.

I leave my grills on... my 20 mos old son likes to remove my center grill since its broken and easily removed. He thinks its funny when i run to him and say no no no no and spank him lightly to discpline (thats when i say no before and he still do that). hes being smart ass and sign "spank" and laugh then run away.
So i leave my speakers grill on. i think rt800 looks good leaving grills on. But for RTi a9 i would leave it on and remove it when i feel like seeing speakers. (my future purchase)I am 100% BORN DEAF and No I am not kidding! :D Why am I here? My wife's hearing! :p

Always on, though I have taken them off during cranked-up demos.

Always on. That way they can't get dusty, and I have no need to see anything move. So long as music & movies is coming out of them I'm happy.

Grill cover stays on for 20 minutes at 325. Cover off to flip, and then on for another 10. Wahla!, Perfect! A nice bottle of Red Wine, and..........Oh? your talking speakers? thought we "covered" this a while back?

Mine stay on because of children. Just the other day my son accidentaly threw something and it bounced off of the grill of my RTi10. He got in trouble, but it was like a force field. The toy bounced right off, no damage. I can't imagine what would have happened if the grilles had been off.

Mine are on now. But for a long time they were behind a false screen wall so they were off. But now that the theater has been demoed and redesigned, there on as I have no screen wall any longer.
If...
