To my eyes they look Plain Jane with their flat fronts whether finished in the cheaper M-Cast or the more expensive M-Coat finish. The curved front baffles on the Q series are far more attractive. I have not heard the S3 yet so I cannot comment on its sound but the pundits are praising the S3's performance so I imagine Alon Wolf has created yet another fine sounding speaker. If you can get past its looks, it seems the new S3 is a serious performer at a decent price point. These might be the perfect speakers to listen to in the dark.

As they say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Some like the simplistic look.
