Greetings, I know that the RAW moderator cannot fairly answer this question, but I need some feedback to help with attaining spousal approval on a HT3 purchase.

  Q:  What current Brick and Mortar Speakers would you consider the peers of the HT3?
  - Paradigm Studio 40? PSB Stratus? B&W???  I am trying to explain the amount of savings that I am achieving on this purchase.  She likes the Idea of saving money, so it is better if I put it in terms of: "this speaker is the equivilant of X...which is $Y more expensive!"
 
  Any help?  I think she just wants the comparison so she can feel better about the purchase.

Hi audioferret,

Put this this way, I have owned B&Ws before CMD9NT-$2,600, 602  and i have demoed 805Sig-$3,500 in my house before and I believe the HT3 is better.  JMHO

Hi,

My advice is to get the receipt doctored so it indicates half the price you actually pay for the speakers.  After a couple of years you can tell her how much the speakers really cost   .

I do this all the time now.
