JM Lab Diva Be

I had a chance to recently audition the Diva Be a few days ago. It was fresh out of the box when I listened. To my ears, it still sounded quite nice even though it had not been broken in. This speaker has dual side-firing 8" bass speakers; one on each side of the cabinet. Since I have never owned or even listened to side firing speakers, I was wondering what sort of issues and details I should be aware of when looking into purchasing a speaker like this. I would like to hear comments on all of your thoughts. Thanks a bunch!!
