Saw one in Bethlehem PA. Too far of a drive for me but hope someone gets it.

Well, normally I wouldn't buy refurbished passive speakers, but it's good to know they're restoring them to factory settings....

I know you're joking since there's nothing to reset, but I got a pair of the excellent Q1 meta's a few months ago and they're were still in the packaging. It looks like the box was cut open but they were never used. YMMV though.

Yup - I have no sub since I'm in an apartment, but I have two sets, one paired with a WiiM Amp and the other WiiM Amp Ultra.

They are very good small high fidelity speakers.
Keep in mind they are small (by hifi standards) and will not fill large spaces well if you want higher volumes and they can not fill a larger space with bass.

In many case people will want to a subwoofer and will want bass management features in your amp/dsp or whatever you plan to connect these to. That way you can remove the low bass from the signal being sent to these allowing for more output and cleaner sound over-all.
That is true for just about any small set of hifi speakers.

If the space is small or you don't go loud, or don't like deep bass then these can fly solo pretty well.
