Re-coning or re-surrounding speakers is nothing new and an everyday part of the biz.

Completely. Blown. Away. They are too big for normal people to have on their desk, but I'm not normal Plus I use them as a sort of secondary stereo system for a mid-sized room in addition to desktop speakers by moving them to the edge of the desk. I'll get stands some time. Their full-range sound doesn't need a sub unless you're looking for palpable bass rumble. Anyway, they aren't cheap like computer speaker cheap but not terribly expensive - great value like all Emotiva stuff. If anyone is thinking of them, I would say the 5's are definitely more appropriately sized for a desktop system. And they are on sale this month

Just checked it out, looks good, nice they have the frequency curve also, however they do not say where they are manufactured or whether or not the caps are Japanese. (important stuff for good monitors)

Where do you see the frequency curve? I can't even find the specs page.
