Ten years ago I found the concept of spending $1000 for a pair of speakers ridiculous. What a difference a few years makes, since that was about the price of a pair of PSB Stratus Bronze's back then. Now I find the PSB Stratus series (including the Mini's, which soundstage beautifully and have prodigious bass for their size) to be a wonderful value in the world of high-end speakers.
If you're continuing to find your Stratus Goldi's to be worthy of remaining in your system, consider yourself lucky to have found a speaker at that price that can hold its position for the long term. I haven't heard PSB's latest offerings, but I have the Alpha A/V's and Stratus Mini's and continue to find them to be wonderful speakers for the price. The Canadian trio of PSB, Paradigm, and Totem continue to represent a good position in the price/performance ratio in speakers.
