RE: Not all are ugly, but too many modern ones are.

"Grill cloths that are acoustically transparent but visually opaque are mandatory in my book. I find it unacceptable if I can see any of the speaker elements, next it must be visually appealing, nice woods and non-box shaped. "

10-4 on that. It's always puzzled me why so many grill coverings are black or at least very dark. I can understand it for a road concert system, where one goal often is to make the speakers blend in with the darkness surrounding the stage, but for home use it makes no sense and it sticks out like a sore thumb in many/most cases. And I think most of the woods I've seen are too dark. Light oak, teak, medium walnut, etc., are better choices in my opinion. Lighten up! :) 'Course, some of the more edgy paint jobs (red, for example) go perfectly with some contemporary decors.
