Sure - just back from travels so will add some photos minus the grilles later on.
The first pair had a manufacturing defect with one of the drivers - both a poorly assembled and manufactured waveguide as well as an issue with the suspension. I think they got the trainee to build that driver but it should never have got past QA and out of the factory door. The logistics of moving / replacing such huge cabinets are rather more complex than your average sized speakers. To be fair they swapped the pair out, but it should not have happened in the first place.
The replacements are faultless. Still voiced very differently to what I've been used to but I've only had half an hour listening to them so far. They were left on a loop whilst I've been away so should have 100 or so hours on them now.
