Make sure you listen before the addition of the (Ownes Corning 703?) panels, and after. Don't overdo it as it's possible to overdamp the space and suck the life from the music. Never use acoustic foam.

You may know this already but these speakers can fetch decent money on the used market. Especially the 15 ohm versions. So, be careful with them, and don’t let someone "take them off your hands." 
To clean or not to clean...
At a minimum, a few spins in a SpinClean before first play.

Best Desktop Speakers under $500
Audioengine makes a line of passive and active speakers in that budget and style.I tried their small actives and was unimpressed. I like fine detail in the top end and these were too smooth. My very old Wharfedale Diamond 6 sound much clearer.
