My further impressions of these speakers --
They have 2 x 11" woofers and one of them handles frequencies from 25 Hz to 90 Hz. In other words, one of the drivers acts as a true subwoofer.
The problem is that the speakers are acting as fronts and subwoofers and these have different requirements for location. You need to locate the fronts for the best imaging. You need to locate the subs for the deepest extension, without boominess.
In my room, without any Audyssey MultEQ room correction, the speakers are incredibly boomy. With the room correction applied, the speakers are excellent. In most "audiophile" rooms, however, there's no electronic room correction and unless these rooms are huge and have very good acoustic treatment, the speakers will be boomy.
If you have speakers like these, you need a huge room (so you can locate the speakers far from walls and you have lots and lots of location options) or you use electronic room correction like Audyssey MultEQ. My room is already pretty huge and yet, it's not big enough for these speakers and that's why electronic room correction is needed.
