"Transparent" or not, I'd wonder whether the material makeup of that kind of mesh would introduce any anomalous diffractive or other negative effects. Your MG-1 or its prototype was probably sound-tested at White Bear Lake with the original grille sock material. Using something else may give a different sonic result, however subtle. Of course, if visual effect or originality is your priority, that may not matter
Footnote: When Magnepan first introduced the black sock, adding it to the white sock already in the lineup, there was considerable discussion as to whether the black sock models were as sonically transparent as their white sock counterparts.
