I'm checking options to upgrade my speakers, I was looking for a pair of LSi7 or even 9's, but I'm curious about the PSB image line, specially the T6 and T65 models. They seem to be almost the same, the T6 being the revamped model.

Any idea of how to they compare to polk speakers? Will they be a significant upgrade from my TSi300's? I will be using them as fronts, HT and music, but wanting a "musical" sound.

Many thanks!

    A couple of things. The T6 is larger and digs deeper in the bass department. Also, they are slightly harder to drive. 6/4 ohm rather than 8 ohm. And they are much more "musical" than the 300s. Just due to a fuller range. And a few other things.
    Things are more like they are now than they ever will be!

    Thanks. Fortunately I have external amplification so the ohm load won´t be a problem. Any idea if they are warm or bright speakers?

    Never listened to them but, from what I have read, they tend to lean on the warm side.
    Is there a place you can go listen to them?

    I believe there are a couple of distributors in my city, but they might have only the alpha series which I believe is the entry level. I'll have a listen to them anyway

    The T6 is a highly rated speaker. If nothing else, order a pair and have a listen. You probably wont be disappointed.

    T65 is on sale in audio advisor, half price, I´ve been reading reviews, and it seems than the T6 are definitely a worth upgrade to the T65, but does it really justifies the extra cost?

    The T6 definitely looks nicer, but he T65 also looks good and very solid, specs almost the same between the two.

    By the way, I don´t think my CS10 will be the perfect match if I choose either T6 or T65, could there be any other options aside the PSB image centers?
