I finally listened to a pair and as a longtime 3.6 owner right away I noticed the family characteristic was immediately apparant. There is a touch more mid-bass warmth but the transparancy, coherency, and pristine clarity is there. Interesting, they are quite a bit shorter than the 3.6 but deeper, don't know where this puts the tweeter in regards to ear level, the cover was on. I must say they are not bad looking! At least with the grill on!
