For the Buck, in a dirrect firing monitor, I think the NHT 1.5 monitor (mounted properly), is a superb sonic match with the 3.6's! I've had Thiel 2.3's and 1.5's, as well as the NHT 1.5's, And, I think mounted properly, this would be a very close (and cheep) match for the $ ($600 retail for the NHT's). While the 1.5's aren't quite as dynamic as the NHT 1.5's (you could get dynamight results if you, say, rolled the bass off to the NHT's at about 60-80hz!!!
