Wayne, Bob called it "the basket" as I remember his saying it. It did cover the magnet and it has several 1-1/2" circular holes all around the edge with foam in the holes. The reason I refrained from removing it was I just didn't see how as it looked solid ---last nite when I revisited this basket there was a warning label that was very small stating that removal kills the warranty. I ran a razor knife all around that seam and then just pulled it off--there was a soft rubber seal binding this basket/cover --- Nevertheless I can assure you the sound from these speaker has improved at least to me, a lot...with that cover the image was not there, the sound over all was dead, especially the top end. Now it has that bright crisp mid range with real top end....and some decent bass---it is what I would call "Lowther Bass" not killer deep but solid...last nite I got a bit of the holiday happys going so I started trying different amps to see what differences I could deduce. the lineup was my Pilot 240 intergrated, A-30 fisher monos, the 2A3 custom (Akito design?) the 2A3 was hardly enough power but sounder thin or dry compared to the EL84's I liked both very much....I am building a sachiko "horn" for the 2A3 as many others say that will match up well-- I have a 6L6 (4 watts in pentode) to try out tonite
