Transparent speaker grill for Sierra bookshelves?

[goldark]

Proud owner of the Sierra 2 for many years now and still enjoying them very much.

Was wondering if there were any thoughts about a transparent speaker grill option?

I love the look of the drivers and seeing the RAAL ribbon, but would like the protection of leaving the grills on.

Is this a possibility?

If not, any easy DIY options?

That would be cool. The fabric Rythmik uses on their ported subs would be perfect as far as transparency. My FV18 is very visible through the grill.

Edit:
Now that I’m thinking about it, and looking at my speakers, the bookshelf’s might be the only ones I would prefer a more transparent grill on. My Horizon grill has more support built in due to its size and if you could see all of that I’m not sure if I would like the way that looked.

I am not sure I have ever seen transparent grille cloth. Can you link to some examples?

Perhaps it wouldn't be entirely transparent, but I was thinking along the lines of something like this where you can still see the drivers: https://cdn.instructables.com/FTZ/223S/GI0TGEIS/FTZ223SGI0TGEIS.LARGE.jpg

My 2 Rythmik LV12F's have a fairly transparent grill: http://www.rythmikaudio.com/LV12F.html

That would be perfect. Could Ascend offer something like that grille material?

I love the way mine look when the light hits them just right...

It reminds me of the same material as a woman's stocking.

I will be a beta tester for the new grills. Sierra 2’s and a Horizon.

Thanks Dave! :)

Count me in as well. I would definitely buy such grilles if they were made available (put me in for 3 for the Sierra 2 LCR ;)

I think the material Rythmik uses would be perfect. Fingers crossed it will happen. :)
