Found an old system pic of my V3s ('08-'09), thought I'd share here..

Meant to be interim speakers coming from *Mini2 ('06-'08, which I enjoyed thoroughly) with intent to upgrade to the M6/M5 then.
But plan was put off due to limitation/difficult access to my 2nd floor listening room (adjoining the bedroom, up via narrow twisting stairs).
*Mini2 replaced SF Stradivari which in turn replaced a MG20.1 prior (lived for about 2-3yrs with each).
Unless prepared to demolish one of side wall and crating speakers up through it from outdoor, in my case, speaker choice will be severely limited to modular designs, or a one-piece the size/weight of Q3/S5 would be max to be heaved up that stairs!
Consider me lucky for not doing so, as in span of just 2-3yrs it was superseded by the now much superior Q7! But I do feel for the few friends who bought them though..
Cheers!
