You were supposed to get a reply 2 or 3 weeks ago! I went with Duster's recommendation for these covers, too, about 3 years ago and never looked back. You also might find if you swap ALL the covers on your system's electrical circuit, it just gets better. Here's an odd tuning trick: Try loosening or tightening the center mounting screw about 1/4 turn at a time for correct tonality - if it's too tight, everything turns harsh in the highs, too loose and the highs recede and the bass gets bloated. Strange!
Just this year, I added Fo.Q damping material to the backs of these plates (Yeah, a tweak to a tweak - when will it stop?!) and got deeper bass and very noticeable increase in dynamics. Because the wall plates are better damped or suspended from touching the drywall, I'm not sure, but fun to play with. Also, I'm probably getting double benefit to any changes in AC because speakers are Quad 63s, energized by house juice, so YMMV.
