PSB Imagine Minis get a very favourable review

[3db]

The latest Home Theater Magazine reviews the PSB Imagine Minis and they got a really good review. I tried searching the site for the freq response curves but came up empty handed. They have a very flat frequency response, probabbly the best (If memory serves me) out of all of their speakers.

I looked at this today - good review. As expected, the mini measured
real good - decent bass for the size. The PSB 55 hz specs, were a little
optimistic. I would like to hear it, compared to the Boston VS 240.

We need a thread about accurate vs inaccurate speakers in terms of FR.

PSB, Paradigm, Energy, Aperion, EMP, RBH, Infinity, JBL, Revel, KEF, Thiel, Ascend, Salk, Philharmonic, Linkwitz, NHT are USUALLY going to have flat & accurate FR?

Polk, Klipsch, DefTech, B&W, Vienna Acoustics, Wilson Audio, Martin Logan, Mirage, Zu Audio are USUALLY not going to have a flat FR?

I guess we could get a game of audio volleyball going.

That's a good list. But Mirage should not technically be in the latter category IMO. Omnipolar speakers do not follow the same rules in ideally achieving a flat frequency response anechoically. If it did it would be a HORRIBLY BRIGHT speaker to listen to!

I would also add M&K to the accurate list as well as Dynaudio.

Dynaudio is definitely accurate.

YG Audio, Monitor Audio, JMLab, Focus Audio are also accurate speakers.

I suppose we can't easily categorize Omnipolar speakers?

"The MK LCR950’s listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures +5.01/–3.06 decibels from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. An average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal responses measures +5.08/–3.25 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz."

That doesn't look very accurate to me.
