Psb Platinum speakers

The Platinum Series is supposed to be PSB's new flagship speakers. I have Goldi's, am very interested in the Platinum T8.

Hmmm... Platinum speakers and VTL. The Goldis are current-hungry, and even though the T8s are a couple of dB more sensitive, I wonder if a tube amp can source the kind of current needed. How does a Goldi/VTL setup sound?

I'm still looking... haven't found a PSB dealer with any in stock yet. I called PSB to inquire, there's one dealer authorized in all of NY state, one dealer in New Jersey. The NJ dealer is waiting for stock, haven't talked to the NY dealer. The lady at PSB was almost snotty when I asked if they were intending a wider distribution than this, and could they please hurry, there's a bunch of us Stratus Gold-i owners who can't wait to hear the Platinums. She said that only very few dealers would get these. The NJ dealer indicated the PSB is very slow to ship the T8s. Wonder if they're having manufacturing startup problems?

Check out the November 2003 Stereophile... Platinum T8 on the cover, review inside. The review reads like "Class A" potential.

Now, to find a dealer who has these...
