ATM still struggeling a bit with building the JR149 like tubes but I am getting closer to something that would be acceptable to go in my lounge!
I’d follow the original design and have sculpted foam grilles. They look great IMHO. JR149s were always really ugly with the grilles removed, the alloy tube shows the effects of the rollers that formed it and no real attempt was made to clean-up the sealing compound. Unquestionably a grilles on speaker. You’ll obviously need to form a perforated metal front grille, but just bending a bit of chicken wire fencing would likely work fine and have a more open weave than the original.
