That’s how they look with the black magnetic grilles off. Finish is excellent. The model is their entry level, Nico Evo. The stands are made with them - not attached, but there is an indent that fits the stand top. Stands are quite heavy, possibly filled with sand.
The cabinet is an AV cabinet that was standard equipment with Edward Jones. Matches my furniture. My office space has a window to the entry of the office where the admin sits. It’s a suite, about 1100 square feet. Usually shared by me and the admin, but I need to hire an admin now.
My desk is along the wall opposite the speakers, so they are to my side. My seat is just to the right of the pair, and they are far enough away that I get good imaging. A person sitting on the other side of my desk is in the sweet spot.
However, with a good smaller 2-way there is a wide area that’s almost as good as the sweet spot.
