I just received a pair of Focal Shape 65's, which have a passive radiator on each side of the speaker. I use two computer screens side-by-side and set a speaker the speakers on each end of the screens. However, this causes the side radiators pointed inwards to be covered from listener's view by the screens. Is this an issue?
I've been listening on them (and burning them in), and am really pleased with how "revealing" they are.

No, not particularly. The passive radiators generate low frequencies with long wavelengths that will tend to ignore your puny screens and diffract around them quite happily.
