Thanks. Yeah, I heard the T100's recently. They are the smaller panel speakers. As for PSB, reading a lot of opinions on the net around PSB vs Klipsch and I hear two very important things...
1) They are as opposite as can be in sound.
2) They both have very positive reviews with very good pros and few cons. Honestly, I was able to find more people siding with PSB over Klipsch when comparing the two, but they were also very old reviews.
The problem I have is I can't find anyone nearly close to me that has PSB on display to listen to. I do however have a shop nearby that has Klipsch on display that I can listen to.
Can I get some opinions on these two companies? For mainly HT use, which may be more practical?
I will give you my opinion, and I have owned PSB and Klipsch speakers.
However, I do not guarantee which is best for you, or that you will hear
things the same way.
A lot of people like Klipsch and are happy with them - I can not live with
them on a day to day bases. They can be good with a lot of movies and
decent with some music. For me, the horn nature is a little bit too forward
and they have a somewhat sharp and edgy sound character >> Also, they
tend to be lacking in good midrange resolution. And, based on some reviews
and measurements, they are not as sensitive as the Klipsch specs state >
However their sensitivity is still good, and they can get loud.
PSB is more balanced and refined to me, and they also have good dynamics,
and they will also get loud >> They do a good job for movies, and are good
musical speakers. The music sounds nice with musical scores in the movies.
They are not forward or laid back >> and PSB tends to have better midrange
resolution. PSB also has a good wide soundstage.
It comes down to preference, choice and taste - and for some rooms the
the controlled/directivity horn nature may be better suited. Plus, Klipsch
does have some big towers, that can handle the power.
