I have noticed over the last couple of years that newer speakers no longer have grilles on them. It seems wildly unsafe to have a bare tweeter that any slight accident can destroy the expensive piece of equipment.

The manufacturer can save money by not including grills and if the speaker gets damaged they will make more money when you buy a replacement speaker.
