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
