Ripped speaker grill

[N_Cook]

Someone asked me if I knew how to do an invisible/near invisible repair. So
far I've never been in that situation but it could easily happen. Anyone
successfully repaired one? I've a few ideas but nothing tried. Assume fancy
tinsel stranded, open weave mesh fabric, unobtanium exact match new fabric
to the original.

Take it to an antiques restorer

I happen to know a textiles restorer, usually material like Nelson's Victory
red ensign restoration (not repairing the shrapnel holes) but worth asking
him next time I see him.

Order the original grill cloth if possible and replace. If not match as
close as possible.

Take a look here (http://www.grillecloth.com/) and try to match or closely
approximate the cloth on your speakers. If you're looking for an exact
match, your best bet would be to replace the cloth on all speakers.
