Same tweeter and mid-range drivers and x/o components.

Thanks. I just tossed them on the stands without removing the base to check them out, but I like them with the base. Also makes it very easy to center them on the stand platten. But, the best part is they play very well in my system.

I have a high attraction to them. However, I wonder how they can throw a nice image while seating on the floor with those inclined bases.
They have a perfect WAF because on the floor you can set them in a living room anf forget them.
May be a perfect match for my Shindo Apetite.
( Damn ! I can't believe I'm building a third system ! )
Do you know the nominal impedance ?
Cheers,

Bradley,
You're right : they look good on stands but for my wife they will disappear on the floor !
But my question is : how do they sound ? Especially on the floor !

Sorry Jerome, I didn't read the previous posts carefully, my bad. I've listened to Heresy III several times with mid-fi gear and they were stunning sound for their small size, deep bass shy but huge bang for the buck! IMO

Thanks Bradley !
They seem to throw a huge sound.
My guess is that with the golden sound of Shindo, the balance could be very good.
