I couldn't care less if one way sounds better than another because I can't tell the difference. I just like the Strads naked!

Grills always on. Don't get lost or broken that way. If you take them off, then the speakers often sound brighter, which many will find preferable. It would be helpful if all speaker manufacturers would make recommendations, but my guess is most voice their speakers sans grills, so my always-on policy may be less than optimal. Don't have to worry about it with my main-rig Khorns, though.

I first look at the owners manual to see what the manufacturer suggests. If the manual doesn't give a recommendation, I listen to see what I prefer.

I listen to my current speakers with the grill on because that's what's recommended in the manual. My previous speakers (B&W 804S) I took the grill off for all drivers.
