PSB Image Speakers

Well I've made the plunge and have moved to Magnepan, so it's time to put my beloved PSB Image speakers for sale. I've got a pair of Image B6 bookshelfs and the C5 center channel (these are the largest bookshelfs and center in this series), all speakers are dark cherry and in perfect condition.
I've used these longer than I've ever used a set of speakers before (over 2 years) and have really enjoyed my time with them, I've posted about them several times including this thread I created HERE. I realize that they're just another speaker to those who haven't heard them, but these are a very special set of speakers to me, I just don't have room to hang on to them and need to recoup as much of the money as I've spent in the last 4 days as possible.
I've listened to the last few iterations of the Image line by PSB and these are by far the best of the bunch IMO, and have alot of technology that has trickled down over time from the higher Imagine and Synchrony lines. This is the first pair of PSB that I could afford that I liked enough to own, in comparison to earlier Image lines they're less bright and have better imaging. They're a neutral speaker, but if I had to put them on one side of the line I'd say they're slightly on the forward side of neutral. They have good imaging, throw a nice wide soundstage (toe them in to get a narrower deeper soundstage), and overall are just alot of fun to listen to. If you're looking for a sounds that's really laid back then these may not be the best fit for you, but they are NOT bright like the older Image lines can be.
I've been through LOTS of speakers in this price range and these have been my favorites. Check around on eBay or Audiogon, you won't see many of these listed like you find with some other models and brands. They're not rare speakers or anything, but there's not a ton of surplus out there on the used market either so they tend to hold more of their value.
I have a couple photos handy, but can take more close-ups if needed. The first two photos give you an idea of size, the third photo just just part of a speaker but is the best color shot. They are a perfect match for the AV rack you see in the front of the room. These speakers all all in mint condition, not a scratch anywhere on any of them. I have the original boxes and packaging as well.
I'd like to get $375 for the B6 and $275 for the C5. A local sale would be nice, but shipping these isn't an issue since I've got the original boxes they were shipped to me in, so I'm open to shipping them.

I forgot to mention above that I also have a pair of VTL DF 29" stands (THESE) and a pair of Audioquest Type 4 speaker cables (THESE). The cables have BFA bananas on one end and spades on the other.
For a local sale I will include both of these at my current asking price. For a shipped sale I will include the speaker cables at my current asking price (no box for stands so can't really ship those).
Guys this is a helluva front stage at my asking price, and even more with the extras included. -
Bump for a great front soundstage
-
Price drop to $350 for the fronts and $250 for the center
-
If you have never heard psb you are missing out. Good price on some great speakers
-
I second deronb1's comment that PSB are great speakers.
I have a pair of the original PSB Stratus tower speakers and love them.
I wish I lived closer to Assimilated, and had some extra cash right now, because I'd love to get the PSB Image B6 and C5 center. They are really nice speakers at a good price. -
These go up on the 'gon this week
-
I'm posting on Audiogon tonight, here are a few better pictures taken tonight

Bump

The center is sold, bookshelfs are still available.
-
I found a box for the stands and boxed them up, so they can now be shipped as well. They're heavy duty, fillable stands though and are on the heavy side for a pair of stands.
The price for everything is firm at $375 local or plus shipping. I think it's a very fair price just for the speakers alone, with the stands and speaker cables I think it's a steal. -
Also, I'm looking at the Focal XS Book desktop speakers and would consider doing a trade of those plus cash for this setup.

Sold

Congrats on the sale, these babies had great reviews, couldn't believe someone didn't snag them weeks ago!
