OK I got my AR'9s late last week, listened for 2 days, then had to travel this past week. Back home now.
They exceed my expectations. Very tight/deep bass; they are better in this regard than the Wilson Sasha's I had up till 1 year ago. No always present midbass hump.
AR9's are very picky about placement, I now have them about 2 to 3" away from back wall, 4 1/2 feet from side wall.
Bi-wirring makes quite a noticeable difference. I am using a Levinson #23 AMP. The AR9's take everything that amp can give.
btw, I didn't see any mention that you got the manuals for the 9's.
I scanned (high resolution) the manuals and other stuff I have (AR9 related, and also other AR speakers reviews and info), and put them on my website.
