Appears to work better on the wall/shelf
Let them open up in break in, they may have more treble than they had at first. That said, it is looking too bottom heavy by quite a bit. Tweeter swap? Silver clad wires?
With all that bass is it at least tight? Or does it sound as bloated as it looks?
Follow Ups:
The bass has a slight bloat but then again my reference point is the MG-3.7i. The speakers unfortunately will end up on the floor (no chance of stands with the WAF). They will be on for most of the weekend and we will see if the tweeters emerge. The mid range is sweet with good rendition of both male amd female voices.
I took a peak inside and found two caps, two wire wrapped inductors on air cores plus another inductor wrapped on what appears to be a ferrite and two resistors. The pcb is very thick and it is impossible to follow the traces. I am guessing the filters are 2nd order with a tweeter attenuator and possibly a zobel. The construction is excellent.

You need to get them something to hide in at a higher level.
Perhaps stands mounted inside a pair of fake plants (bamboo) in tallish pots or urns?
Make them into fake Brancusi style column sculptures or stands?

As for my new B6s I never thought I could live long term with a $279 pair of speakers until I got these.

I put the speakers up on the mantle of the faux fireplace around midnight.
>She got up at 6:15 am to take the dogs out and returned to the BR to say "We got to talk". I said "Put them back on the floor" and rolled over.
The solution, tilt the speakers

They are made by AudioEngine, strangely enough, but should work on the B5s. They are made of a non-resonant composite material. The M-Audio AV40s on my desk are 4" 2-ways.
