Need to listen for yourself and decide
oedipus said:
I want to buy a 5.1 speakers system. Got two serious finalists:
- PSB Image B25
- Tannoy Fusion 1&2
My AV amplifier will be Hk 235 or Denon 1906.
Could someone tell me which of these is the best choice?
I'm prejudiced towards PSB for a: being a Canadian and PSB being a Canadian speaker, and b) I own the Image T45 and love-em c) read only good things about the B25s in Sterophile magazine. I've never heard the tannoys so I cannot make a judgemnet call on this either way. What I can tell you is audtion both with CDs that you are really familiar with.. and pickout songs that are:
1. Really dense muscially to see how the speakers resolve alot of instruments at the same time.
2. Has alot of bass to see how they handle bass
3. Song with alot of treble to see how if the speakers come across smooth and detailed or etchy and "bright" sounding
4. Ones that have male/female vocals to see how the mids are handled.
Remember, only you hear thru your ears
