Summary:
Alright, I'll chip in...and yes, I wrote the S5e review as well...though it needs updating. Again I will keep it short. Buy these...Seriously! I bought them to be surround speakers complimenting my S5e's...if I knew how close they were to the 5's I would have bought them all around and saved the dough! The 5's do extend a little further down and do expand the enjoyment 5-10% (significant in audiophile terms), but the 3's are majic!!! I had them set up as mains for breakin and I almost couldn't demote them to effect speakers...it is a crime that I have them in their current role. The tone and natural presentation of these speakers is fantastic. Having owned Spica TC-60's and auditioned Revel M20's (not quite the same league...Revel's being more on par with the S5e's) they hardley give an inch. In fact if bookshelf/stand mounted speakers are what you are after you absolutely must audition them. End of story!

Strengths:
Tone and toe-tapping enjoyment!!!

Weaknesses:
Little bass extension...I use them with the Spendor Sub3 which was fantasitc

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
