Anyone remember paint soaked scrim??
I'm sure nobody missed it when it was gone and the baffles and drivers were just black behind the perfs.

Well, scrim is back in at least one major manufacturer's 2004/2005 line.

If anyone decides to paint the speakers w/out removing the grilles and taking out the scrim, it gets caked with paint like a wafer thin sponge that it is... and you know WE get called by the irate client when the music is too quiet, or when the amps get nuclear hot trying to get sound into the room.
