Bronze Member Username: BaldeaglePost Number: 38 Registered: Oct-07 | How do PSB T65 ($1100/pair) compare to B&W 684 or Paradigm Monitor 9. I saw these beauties at a friend's house... thought I'd ask you good people. Regards Eagle |

Bronze Member Username: BaldeaglePost Number: 39 Registered: Oct-07 | C'mon guys... what? No one has an opinion?  These Image T65 towers are 6.5 inch, 4-drivers, 3 front ports, 94 dB sensitivity. http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/Image-Series/Image-T65-Tower In the 20 min I spent with it, the T65 sounded really nice... nice enough for me to think that I should compare it to the B&W 684 and Paradigm Monitor 9.... So, before I lose my mind and start auditioning yet another set of speakers I thought I'd ask. |

Even if you got some opinions, they would be subjective to their ears, musical tastes, other associated components and rooms. Auditoning for yourself is the only way to go - better still if you can do it with your own components and in your own listening area. My 2 cents worth. |

I have a suspicion that the PSB's are a bit more friendly in the 'gotta have lots of current and high damping factor or you get boomy bass' arena, but I haven't heard them yet so I might be full of it. Listen for yourself if you can hold the fever at bay a little longer. |

Bronze Member Username: BaldeagleMichigan USA Post Number: 42 Registered: Oct-07 | Snapcat, Thanks... the nominal impedence is stated at 6 ohm and minimal is 4 ohm. So yes, it will want more power. So, what B&W system do you have? |

New member Username: SnapcatPost Number: 4 Registered: Oct-07 | 603 floor standers. You need to figure out that synergy thing first before writing the check, or you'll be writing another one. It's not just impedance. But I'm not the one to say what IT is. You are. If you spend some time searching old threads, you'll see a common theme. Find the right synergy; don't throw the pearls before the swine. Get a good cdp first if you want emphasis on music. Figure out what you like by listening to lots of stuff, save up and get the combination you've heard that does it for you. |
