Is there a such thing as metal grilles?

[Kyle]

As may remember from my earlier postings, my cat loves to scratch at the grilles on my speakers, and they've gotten to the point where they look a little ragged.

Are there aftermarket grilles like the ones on the 700 (or is it the CM) series of b&w speakers, that I could use for my 601, 604 and LCR60? I googled around a bit, but didn't find a whole lot..

I've had speakers that came with metal grilles, but if B&W doesn't provide them, you could DIY a set. You'll just have to find a source for perforated metal, cut, shape, and paint it, and attach them to your speakers.

Play heavy rock music and have it turned up loud and switched to another input. As soon as the cat starts to mark their territory by scratching switch to on. Repeat process and cat will become very leery of the speakers.

Also why even have the covers on? I have never had mine on and the only thing my cat does is jump on top of them.

Adding a metel grill would likely adversely effect dispersion and frequency response.

I could show you pictures of crushed metal tweeters that would explain why I have the grilles on

The Bravia I have is last years model, the XBR1. I bought it in November of 2005, and I must say I am very happy with the purchase. It isn't 1080p like the newer XBR2 and XBR3 sets, but the PQ is excellent, and I am still wowed by HD content on a regular basis

I'm not a huge fan of Sony products other than their TV sets so I had a little bit of trouble paying the premium for the set, but having seen it side by side with other LCD sets, the difference was very apparent
