Infinity Modulus - Any good?

[Lord Victor]

Hey there, I’ve always liked the industrial look of these speakers, and got the chance to get a pair with stands at the moment.
Does anyone know if they’re any good by current standards?

I’m beholden to whatever is on the used market where I am, sadly. That and my aesthetic taste
