PSB Stratus Mini's

I may pick a pair of these up to pair with a Classe or Krell Integrated. Any impressions of the speakers?

They have been well reviewed over the years.They image well, have great bass for their size, and have excellent highs without being bright. Same tweeter as the Stratus gold. (3/4" instead of 1"). Sensitivity is 86db so need some watts. I'm a PSB fan but think they are great speakers. John Dean

I have driven the Minis with my 200 w/c Marantz Reference Sm-17s that are bridged. I have also driven them with my 100 w/c 5-channel Marantz SR-7000. They sound somewhat better with more watts, but good both ways. 150 w/c should be more than enough power. A friend just bought a pair of used cherry Stratus Minis for $460 on e-bay. John Dean

In my surround system, I use the Stratus Minis for 2-channel listening as front speakers but sometimes switch them out with the Stratus Bronzes and move them to the rear for movies. Listen to the Minis and other speakers. That's still the best way to decide what suits you. John
