PSB Platinum M2 buying advice

Hi there. First time poster. I have a line on a like new pair of these for a few hundred dollars with stands. Any thoughts? I would be connecting them to my Peachtree Audio nova220se. I guess the big question is how these speakers stack up against sub-2000 monitor/standmount speakers available ten years after initial release.

really excellent speakers--extremely neutral and transparent. for a few hundred bucks i'd jump on 'em in a flash--they were 2 grand new (w/o the stands).

I've read they were "geared" for home theater use with sub...true? Every review I've read have them paired with a sub :(

haven't researched the question, but i'd assume people pair them with a sub because as small monitors they're not designed to plumb the depths. in these parts, "home theater use" is elitist code for a sensibly priced product by a recognized manufacturer.

Love this, loomisjohnson! It's a dig but true at times around here.

Cheers,

Scott
