I agree that they are awesome speakers. I auditioned both the III and the V. Ultimately bought the V's for room size and extended base. You can't go wrong the the III's as SF speakers are very amp matching friendly, and the mids and highs are exceptional without being muddy or fatiguing. It really just depends on your base needs/desires. The drivers are the same except the V's have 2 180 mm base drivers, whereas the III's have 2 150 mm base drivers.
