Nicely made and they shouldn't rattle with all that goo and padding inside, that white stuffing material appeared to be Dacron by the way. You probably should have fired them up so we could all have a listen, a good excuse for a follow up and comparison perhaps.

It's hard to do proper speaker comparisons.

If you wanted TRS input I suspect something from the Neutrik combo series will fit right in

Quite a few have asked for a comparison review and response test.
I don't have the right gear for this, but I found this video which is pretty comprehensive:
