Better cut them off and compare before you jump to any conclusions that the dowels/grille don't matter!

There is no such thing as a sonically invisible pole
or grille cloth

Manufacturer's comments, try it. - Craiger56 10:55:58 04/06/07 (2)
The dowels that support the grillecloths on various Vandersteen models are an integral part of the design. They are carefully placed and do not degrade performance in any way. You and any of your readers can easily prove this for yourselves with a simple experiment: Darken the room to eliminate visual suggestion and place two broom handles in front of each speaker, just inside of the dowels that support the grillecloth. These broom handles will be forward of the dowels inside the speaker and will include a narrower angle, much closer to the radiation pattern of the drivers. They will still be completely inaudible. Try it.
- Your "best" source of unbiased conclusions about Vandersteen speakers ... is Vandersteen speakers? ... Are you serious? - Richard BassNut Greene 14:02:05 04/06/07 (1)

    It's a good suggestion on how anyone interested in the proposed effect of the poles can conduct their own test and hear and judge for themselves their effect.
    Performing the test would be more scientific than just proposing a possible effect.
    Cheers
