PSB Imagine...Is this a good price?

[speakerdoo]

I found a dealer willing to part with his PSB Imagine towers and center all for $1540. This is a floor model and comes with the regular 5 year warranty. Do you guys consider this a good buy? I am confused between this and KEF Q900? Any suggestions? Thx.

You are the only one who can choose - did you listen to the KEF?
That is a good deal on the PSB - that set is listed for around $3,000.

I wouldn't mind picking up the imagine T and center for $1540; the towers run over $2k. Zieg is right that you need to listen to the KEFs if you want to buy them. You'll be hard pressed to pick up the KEF Q900s and a center for that price. Acessories4less sells open box KEFQ900s for $649 each; Vanns has an open box pair at $450 each, KEF Q900 2.5 way Q Series floorstanding speakers bass reflex 200 watts 200W at Vanns.com.

Both are great speakers and there is no wrong decision. You should audition both to see which ones you like the best. That is a great deal on the Imagine series.

I think the Psb Image series are more comparable to the Kef Q series...I'm not implying the Q's would not hold their own when comapred to more expensive speakers such as the Imagine series...but that deal price is a steal...IMO.

A few years ago I could have picked up the synchrony one's for $1800.--. They where also demos. I think your'e getting a great deal.

I've auditioned the PSB Imagine T at a local dealer.

They sounded pretty darn good.

But for the songs I listened to (Hotel California, Superman, Time After Time, Don't Dream It's Over), I don't think they sounded any better than my Infinity P362s when I got home and "tried" to compare them from "fresh memory".

The PSB looked much better aesthetically and are much better built, though.

I think my KEF 201/2s sound a lot better than the PSB Imagine T - IMO of course.

They both have the Uni-Q drivers, but I don't know how the KEF 201/2s compare to the KEF Q900.

Makes you wonder just how much they are REALLY "worth" before they mark these speakers up 300%!
