    Since you own them, can you tell me if the depth given in the specs (10.25") includes the grill?

    They might be a bit big for my desktop...

    Yes but you don't want to EVER leave the grilles on these babies

    Find a way to fit them. You can place them within 2" from a backwall, in fact, it's encouraged to keep them close to a backwall to reinforce the bass. They were designed with that in my mind.

    Well, I'd use them without grills... so it's good to know the cabinet itself is a little less deep than 10.25"... every bit counts on a desktop.

    I'm still considering ordering a pair... but right now I'm dem'oing a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv 4's, and they are damn impressive. I have not found any other speaker this size that I can listen to by itself and not miss a sub.

    Those Emotiva's look great and they are active so you don't need more amps. Definitely a great option as well!

    What about the E5Bi at $175/pr? Wouldn't these be better since they have a larger woofer?

    The e41s have better drivers and cabinets.

    Not even close. The E-41B utilize the same cabinets as RBH Signature series product. The Beryllium 4" driver is very costly and EMP is likely offering this sale on what ever stock they have left of. Definitely a rare deal at this price given the caliber of parts.
