And yes, they did add a LOT of weight to movies, but they are most definitely not fast enough to blend with Thiel's or Magnepans (I've had/tried both). For a dedicated home theater, they are a very good, and inexpensive, choice, but for music, you can find better

There are Internet pics showing this but apparently photos can be altered. The it's sealed' folks must be correct. Having owned one doesn't seem to matter.
