Have a older set of PSB's, but matching up the specs it looks as if I have the B25 (fronts(mine say PSB-400) and Alpha B1 (rears(mine say PSB-100), thinking of getting some B15's to replace the Alpha B1's. Would this be worth doing, would it be a good match up?

How much $$$ extra?
Is it worth a small benefit that may not be readily detectable under close comparisons?

That's the thing, is it worth it. A member on here has a used pair for sale at a good price (I think,$150 plus shipping), so if it would sound better, which I don't know, I would get them. Or would I be better off ungrading my center speaker (PSB C1)? All in all I am happy with my set up, but are people like us ever satisfied?

Find a PSB dealer and bring in your old speakers to side by side comparison. That is the only way you'll ever know if its worth the money.

You could also just get it and double up on the sub, use both.:D It sounds like a good deal.
