I'll actually keep it brief.
Open sound, very forward. Heavily recommend time alignment by putting speakers at ear level and tilt as far up as the bracket allows (stand mount, not wall mount), doing so mellows them out a little if you don't like the aggressive sound. Not much for extension, but low enough to pair with a good subwoofer. I have mine paired with an M&K V-125THX and the sound is very even keel. Impressive dynamics for such a small speaker.
