    Do they have internal bracing inside their enclosure?

    I’ve not looked inside these Shane , they’re heavy and sturdy for their size with bass that is quite hard to believe given their size .

    I have some Opera Primos in my workshop system which are very similar and pretty! There is a forward facing port and the bass is impressive for their size. There is no internal bracing in these. Not necessarily the same beast but I am very happy.

    Beautiful speakers, and on the occasions we have heard Sonus Faber, nothing to dislike about the sound.
