Curious - I've been reading the manual myself, and they suggest the speaker can be hung from a wall using the installed keyhole, but they are rear ported. So how is that supposed to work?
The manual mentions "rubber bumpers". Presumably these space the cabinet away from the wall sufficiently to allow the air from the port to escape around the edges of the cabinet?
There's a tear-down video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueNnWewcENw - I haven't listened to it (ironically, perhaps) because my computer amplifier is currently being refurbished, but the pictures show a perfectly respectable construction standard for the price. The crossover is obviously built to a price, but I'd accept it for what it is. The Stereophile review is very complimentary, for what that's worth (actually, they write better reviews than many, and are one of the few to include measurements). They apparently don't lack detail - and why should they?
My advice at this point: forget about the gear and listen to the music. Simple to say, but honestly the best advice you'll get from me. Worrying about the gear will lead you down the carefully prepared path that is designed to extract money from those who want to believe. The best upgrade for any hi-fi system? A pile of new CDs
Any idea what you'll do about those Missions? At the very least, you should experiment with reducing the tweeter level.
