    Opinions on PSB Image B25

    I've read the posts concerning the Monitor Audio S-2 & the Paradigm Studio 20. I have been able to hear both and like both. I will buy either one on price in near future (very near). One thing I haven't heard is the PSB Image B25 (can't find them locally). I've really enjoyed the PSB...

    Monitor Audio Bookshelf Speakers - Which one?

    I wanted to read some opinions and reviews on the B2, S2 & RS2 speakers. I have listened to some of the competition but size, price or sound has swayed me to MA speakers. I will have a chance in a couple of weeks to listen to each of them in one sitting. In reality, it’s going to be between...
