PSB Imagine X Loudspeakers

PSB Imagine X Speakers

PSB Speakers just released four loudspeakers to their Imagine Series priced from $800/pair. The new Imagine X models consist of two tower speakers (Imagine X2T and Imagine X1T), one set of bookshelf speaker (Imagine XB) and one center channel (Imagine XC). Each speaker is carefully matched in timbre, providing the system designer or end-user flexibility to combine any of the models to work seamlessly together in a variety of applications, venues or system setups.

Imagine X2T ($649 ea. MSRP)
This slim, floor-standing tower borrows many design innovations from the multiple award-winning Imagine T2, yet also showcases many of its own advancements. The Imagine X2T is a three-way, dual-chamber, dual front-ported design with a one-inch titanium dome tweeter, two 6.5-inch woofers, and an innovative discrete 5.25-inch self-contained midrange driver, a unique development within the entire Imagine Series. Designed specifically for the Imagine X2T, the injection-molded poly-filled carbon fiber midrange driver features a novel shape and filleted surround to optimize the reproduction of voices. Each woofer, refined for stiffness and performance, sits in its own individual chamber to achieve incredible control and spatial, dynamic sound quality. Dividing and individually porting the chamber eliminates standing waves inside the X2T’s tall, slim speaker cabinet. The placement of the woofers in multiple positions also reduces the first reflection phenomenon, minimizing the negative effects of the primary ‘floor bounce’ reflections, resulting in a much more accurate and tuneful bass performance.

Imagine X1T ($449 ea.)
As a deceptively slim and discreet floor-standing design, the Imagine X1T has wide bandwidth and high SPL output capabilities that defy its size. This dual-woofer transitional two-and-a-half way design features identical 5.25-inch woofers and one-inch titanium dome tweeter that delivers refined sound with tonal, spatial and dynamic accuracy. Like all Imagine Series woofers, the X1T’s cone materials have been specially developed for optimal control, allowing for a simpler more cost effective crossover design.

Imagine XB ($499 pr)
An attractive, compact design with a single 5.25-inch woofer and one-inch titanium tweeter can be easily placed in most spaces. It is ideal for multi-channel, 2.1 subwoofer/satellite systems, or main-channel use in smaller rooms.

The Imagine XB shares the injection-molded, clay/ceramic-filled polypropylene designs of the Imagine X towers and includes dual magnets, rubber surrounds and a rear-facing port.

Imagine XC ($399 each)
A two-way system in a dual-woofer horizontal format with a pair of 5.25-inch woofers and one-inch titanium dome tweeter, this center channel is engineered to maximize performance in multichannel systems. Its clean lines complement today’s ultra flat TVs while its compact footprint allows it to be nestled below.

True-to-nature sound is the intrinsic characteristic of PSB Speakers’ Imagine X Series. In engineering Imagine X, PSB designers focused on simplicity—distilling sound to its purest essence – in order to bring listeners the experience that they truly enjoy.
