I'd love to... no plans for heading north just yet though. I do think you bring up a good point about the S3100 as a system. I have never had the pleasure of hearing them. I would love to have the opportunity. I think it would be very interesting.
As for the Quads, I have heard them and I like them. I wasn't particularly impressed with their imaging though. For imaging I generally like two way mini-monitors... yep Zilch, two ways! For them to work they typically need a 5-6" woofer so that it performs well up to the tweeter which typically needs to be crossed over around 2.5KHz.
Back on the topic of this thread (however loosely) I did hear the horn from the S3100s imaging... it just wasn't what I consider convincing. Now I'll be the first to admit that the speakers whose imaging I really like have very poor dynamics and can sound really strained at realistic SPLs... there are several "audiophile" speakers that I have heard that do a great job imaging and are dynamic, but they typically cost more than my car.
