I have mine in a 2.1 home theater set up but wonder how much better they would sound with a modern, acoustically transparent, grill.

Pain to remove though as the whole speaker would have to be disassembled...

Great dynamics and power but I doubt they will ever "disappear".
Sectoral horns can be fairly directional. The heavily twined burlap might serve to break that up a bit. I put a cheap plastic grille in front of my TangBand full range speakers and it did just that. The "sweet spot" widened more than a little.

I think making them disappear will be more a function of the room than anything else. You can make almost any speaker image better by careful placement, acoustic treatment and seating position.
