OK got wrong picture....
In my page I recommend placing a tiny piece of something like painters blue tape on the cone: easy to remove without damaging speaker, though you may need tweezers to place. Place Two pieces sized about a 1 mm by 2 -3 mm long placed north and south on the woofer cone just where the surround meets the cone.
They'll act like Marigo dots and dampen the cone slightly forcing the cone to break up into left-right eigenmodes: that is a more like a left-right symmetrical pattern which is what we are searching for. Normally I get more center fill and better detail.

since I can't reach it to place anything on it I tried the long strips as shown. at late nite low levels I can sense a piano being realistically played as if I was sitting behind the piano player back a couple rows.
Some mesh covered tweeter carry a small plastic dot in the back center.Does yours? The dot is supposed apply a little back pressure to dampen out the tip of the tweeter.
i don't see a dot like that. i don't use the grills but i picked em up just to have a look. is it possible they were trying the same kind of tricks.
problem is when i saw that i removed the putty, put the grills on, then tried several configs until i couldn't tell what i was hearing. taking a break and going back to what i had that seemed to be working.
Interesting....
Fine adjustment:move strip up for more bass, lower for more treble. for your own taste of course.
Amazing what a little putty can do.
Btw does your woofer have a phase plug?
