Without the rings, the treble was rather harsh - not particularly bright, but harsh. I did once try them on my Avalon NP2.0 floorstanders, but the designer has already voiced them with grille diffraction in mind and the focus rings were a definite step backwards. The Avalons are representative of a small but refreshing breed of speakers that really do sound better with grilles on.
