Does anyone have any experience with PSB Speakers

Heard their Syncrony speaker. Very ordinary. Some wag evidently said it was the 20th best speaker ever made or some number like that - can't remember exactly what it was. As one guy said at the time you could be forgiven thinking if it was the 20th best speaker only 20 speakers were ever made.

Normally I would say check it out for yourself but in this case I think you can give them a miss and look at others if it requires you to go out of you way at all to hear it. There are many other speakers I would actively seek out first. In that price range I like the Martin Logan Electromotion - a good deal cheaper as well - you can spend the difference on better source equipment - check it out.

Thanks

I have Platinum T8's, M2's and a C2 in my home theater (Anthem D2v/A5). I couldn't be happier. I keep trying more exotic speakers, but the PSB's are still here.

I had never heard of PSB speakers but bought a pair of the original PSB Stratus tower speakers (precursor to the Stratus Gold) a few weeks ago locally as it was just too good of a deal to pass up and some audiophile friends highly recommended that I buy them. And I am glad I did because they are great speakers - very detailed, open and transparent. Lively and with lots of bass. It is a very clear and neutral-sounding speaker. I would higly recommend the Stratus series. I have not heard other PSB models but the PSB Stratus is a wonderful speaker!

I have a pair of Image t5. They are on the warm side, laid back, smooth, very acceptable overall sound for the money. I would say that their strengths are in the small foot print, slim cabinets, and the amount of bass impact they can produce. They go lower than 40hz, and that's great for bassy music and movies. To me, it is an excellent value. It really depends on what you like to listen to.

Since Paul Barton is a musician, his speakers sound realistic on acoustic instruments - especially the strings.

I really dig them. You will probably like them too, but you should definitely hear them b4 buying, as there are many many dealers - you should be able to find a dealer near you.

If you can't, then buy clean ones used, and if you don't like them, you can resell them, and not lose too much money, if at all.
