AV123 Mini; Salk HT3; Devore Gibbon Super 8

I'll be able to tell you guys pretty soon,im getting the Mini's,and im going to hear the HT-3's and the Super 8's here in the next few weeks,I should have some impressions for those who are interrested.Personally from the pricerange that most people Say the HT-3's play in it doesent really seem like the Mini and the Super 8 will be able to compete with them,even though both of these speakers perform well above their pricepoints,but HT-3's are touted to play in the super speaker tier,which is a huge jump even if the Super 8's and Mini's perform better than triple their price,which their both said to.

The HT3 are speakers that are touted to compare well with $10K speakers, I think that the HT3 (based on reviews from respected sources) are probably above the realm of the Strata Mini (sad to say).

I havent heard the HT3 though, so take my comment with a grain of salt, but I do own the Strata Mini.

And the Strata Mini is one heck of a speaker! I can only imagine how good the HT3 is based on the feedback I have read of this particular speaker.

Jc51373; I have heard the B&W 804S speakers locally. Which do you have?
I look forward to Tawaundabomb's feedback. The Super 8's and HT-3's appear to be competitive in price point depending on which Ht-3 options you buy. I am also curious about build quality as the 8's and Ht-3's are hand made in U.S. versus Mini's which are not.

I don't have the signatures, or the newer Diamonds. Mine are about 3 years old, mint shape, but after seeing the price point on the super 8's and considering my musical tastes have developed a new speaker might be the way to go.

Joey v: I read your comparison of the Strata Mini to the ML Summit's on another forum and that prompted my question here. I have heard the ML Clarity's and thought their soundstage was impressive. I am thinking to go to the Rocky Mountain AF this year to hopefully hear all of these and others. Thanx for the feedback!
