Opinions on PSB Stratus Mini speakers...

Great sound for small area.

Clean, clear , non-fatiguing sound with pretty darn good bass for a small speaker. I have used them in sort of an HT setting for about 6 months now and have no regrets. They sound great with both DVD music and movie dialouge-- nothing harsh about these speakers. I run a DVD player's audio output through a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre-amp, McCormack amp, and to the PSBs-- didn't really compare them to other similar sized speakers. Good Luck. Craig

I owned a pair of Stratus Minis for a while. They needed all the power my Parasound 1200II amp had - 200 WPC. I ended up trading them for a tube amp. I believe the Stratus Silver i's are easier to drive, can you audition them? Same footprint, floor standing.
I still own the Stratus C6 center channel, it mates well with my Montana SPIIs in my video system. I'll keep it until I have a new center channel made by a local custom speaker builder here in Phoenix...
