Meant to post this a week or so ago.. Mine arrived, and got unboxed to check them for damage, after all the horror stories in the other Unisound threads. They then headed straight to storage without being wired in, so I can't tell you how they sounded, but..
They were completely undamaged, and very well packed. Mainly, however, they look GORGEOUS. Seriously - and I know this was said about the SP18s too - the enclosures themselves are easily worth a lot more than the cost of the whole thing here. I don't even care that I didn't get a chance to test them, because if anything is wrong with the output when I finally get round to it when we move, I can replace all of the internals happily knowing that I still came out in front!

I always thought there was a slight weak link in this sort of product.
You, the forgetful person, is counting on your ability to remember to carry the receiver..

For what its worth Shagbert, Onkyo can handle a 4 ohm load just fine. I have 8 ohm surrounds and 4 ohm unisound front L/R towers and have no problem at all with the reciever. I push it pretty hard to, reciever never heats up to unsfafe temps, no resistors needed. I have a 607 I have a (I think..) 506, and it's not as well vented as it could be, as well as sharing the same cavity in our entertainment centre with a very old big LCD TV that's not exactly energy efficient, and warms the room quite nicely, lol. So didn't want to risk it.. Thanks for the info, though, I'll bear it in my mind when I upgrade the surrounds!

The 3G and 3GS don't work with a lot of third party chargers (and devices in general), due to being crippled so that Apple can charge licensing fees for peripheral manufacture.
