I've had a pair of D3s for almost a year now, and I'm very happy with them. They are indeed quite musical.
Their imaging is probably their strongest suit.
I heard a pair of Salks at RMAF last year, but I'm not sure it was the HT2-TLs. They sounded quite nice, but I didn't get a chance to listen that critically.
The Salk fit and finish may have an edge as Ethanh stated (their optional hand-rubbed finishes are gorgeous but pricey) but my wife is very pleased with the looks of the D3s.
Ty's a great person to do business with as well.
45 watts is more than enough to make the D3's sing, by the way. I'm using a 30-watt Red Wine Audio amp that works quite well with them.
