I own the HT3's and heard the Mini Strata's at RMAF this past year. While not exactly a fair comparison (home vs. show), I didn't feel that the Strata's would compete with the HT3's.
The Strata speakers will not have the same level of dynamics, resolution, and refinement. That being said, they are silly good for their $2k price - I honestly don't know how Mark does it!!
As for the HT3's...they were my main speaker for the past two years and have only recently been replaced by a pair of Vandersteen 5A's. Yes, I really did have to move way up to the 5A to find a speaker that improved on the well balanced sound of the HT3.
You can find lots more info on both the HT3 (over at AudioCircle.com) and the Strata (AV123's own forum).
I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the Devore speakers.
