With my pair of CUB IIs, the sound was definitely better sans grills. Was a good thing, as the grills would not stay on without some help from packing tape.
With a couple of more recent reviews the reviewer remarked on how the speakers (last Sophia series and Sasha, if memory serves) were noticeably more coherent/better sounding with the grills on.
