The face is extruded aluminum. The cabs are well braced using very decent drivers and the crossover is well designed.
If you saw them in person they are very decent looking and solidly built.
This is an old model being clearanced. They were originally $3400 a pair which over priced but @$1k and under these are great.
Would I buy a set? At this price yes.

The R3 is indeed a better speaker vs D11 but not by all that much. The R3 has a very 'neutral audiophile' sound with fantastic accuracy to the recording but it is a little buttoned up sounding at times.
Remember recordings are often mixed on speakers that are not neutral, yes many times this is the case. Also many recordings are masted and mixed with the belief they will be played back on home speakers and not necessarily 'accurate' speakers. Some recordings are mixed by people who actually don't really know what they are doing and also the 'loudness' wars have made many recordings best played on less accurate systems. Such recordings can sound boring or downright bad when played back on neutral speakers.
The D11's tweeter didn't quite create the same sense of 'air' that the R3's does and while serviceable didn't quite sound 100% excellent to me. Really though I think most people should go with the better priced item here.
The d15 being a tower will have better bass and most likely play louder, cleanly at the extreme vs both the R3 and the D11 I used.
How big is your space, how loudly do you listen and will you be using subwoofer(s) and will you be using a high pass filter to remove bass from the mains?

Placement for bipolar and the impact of the room is pretty tough to deal with during set up.
