Unboxing experience was great. The foam pieces that hold the speakers in place and protect them feel up to the task and smartly designed.

These speakers look great and are nicely finished, no problems there
the only issue I ran into will likely not be a problem for anyone else. I was going to use the speakers upside down to get the tweeter to my ear level, since I have speakers on stands above my computer monitor, but the presence of the passive radiator meant my speaker cable would hang down the back of the speaker, laying on top of the passive radiator. that seems like a bad idea so I'm using them with the tweeter on top
Tip for removing the trim rings so you can install the grills. I almost broke a fingernail trying to get the trim rings out. Too lazy to look for a plastic pry-tool I bought years ago from ifixit. I ended up being able to pull the trim rings out using the combination of a plastic credit card and my fingernail
I have a minidsp flex with dirac live going to a purifi 7040 high current class d amplifier. reran dirac, enjoying the new speakers a lot(it's been less than an hour so kind of early to say more)
