I hear a bit more clarity in the highest notes - don't know that it is the bars on the tweeter or the double layer of sock material when the tweeters face forwards. But lacking both it sounds distinctly more detailed and clear. Not by orders of magnitude, but obvious. I currently XO the tweeter at 6khz in traditional 1st order inverted polarity XO scheme, so the top end is in reverberation, high harmonics, cymbals, the sheen on trumpets and triangles.

The mids are push pull so have perforated plates on both sides. they don't suffer too badly from being covered by the sock. It dulls transients slightly. It is not that bad, but as Doug Schroeder noted, it matters. So I am thinking of finishing the mid/tweeter with a removable grill made from the sock cloth stretched on a frame rather than a sock.
