I used to own a pair. Here are some tidbits of knowledge
1) When you get them assembled and upright, there should be a metal strip on the back of the speaker covering the tweeter. Remove it slowly or risk tweeter damage.
2) Tell your wife if she vacuums the speakers she might as well pack her bags and move out. Seriously, they can be rebuilt for fairly cheap at the factory. My sister in law vacuumed mine clean out.
3) They make really good bass (upper 40s in most rooms useable) and are actually fairly easy to drive. I used a small receiver when I first got them, and also a Stereo 70 later on. The Stereo 70 would play loud enough that my wife could feel the bass through the floor in the upstairs shower.
4) Experiment with placement, and inch can make a big difference with them.
5) Be prepared to hear "the box" when you listen to regular speakers. I went from the Maggies to high end bookshelf speakers.
You will enjoy them. BTW, the tweeters are adjustable using resistors. You can get an assortment for not much money from the factory if they aren't in the box.
