north 3 prism

Anyone have any experience of these - good bad indifferent? I am thinking of buying a pair on the strength that they can be sited near walls whilst the Drum ones are better well away.I am also looking to partner them with a  low power Class t amp such as Sonic Impacts t amp - 15 watts max.

I have the Teak Prism 3.0s. They are amazing, friends were fooled into thinking that the 9.0s were playing when it was the 3.0s.

A lot has been written to praise them, and many have bought them (the drums are the preferred version for performance, definitely) I currently use them as my L and R surround in my HT.

The advantage of the Prism 3.0s is the size - they are easier to place. And to some, the style, although style is always a matter of taste and even mood.

And by the way that is norh or nOrh, and not "north" :) !

jqb, the drums are superior to both the prisms and the marble columns?

I have never heard the 3.0 drums, but almost universal response, even from mbarnes, is that the drums perform better.

Marble columns are not available, except by special order I believe. To my knowledge, Marbles is the only one that has a set of those.

Marbles, am I correct?

Yes, you have the ultimate norh collectors items.

I do see the column Marble 3.0s Columns are $350 for a pair.

I wonder how they sound compared to the 3.0 Drums...
