    Russman,
    I am in the mood to try something new as well. Let's talk about the PSB system - Mark just sold me the Subsonic 6 and I love it. It is the Image series. Any idea how it will blend with the Alpha system that you are selling.

    Put me in for dibs, please.

    It could be your last HT system, honestly. They're outstanding speakers, I just like to rotate the HT every year or so to stay 'current' with what's out there.

    I'll get the pictures up tomorrow.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    I owned some PSB Alpha's for a short time. They are excellent HT speakers and a terrific value. If I didn't loathe Russ with the hatred of a thousand men, I might buy them for myself :)

    Russ, you gonna be around tomorrow afternoon? I'm going to be up off 121 and might be able to grab the demo speakers from you then. Sorry for my delay and insolence.

    The alpha's are sold. Bring cash to take the AR's home with you also and your impotence will be forgiven.

    Impotence can be forgiven, but never forgotten. I'll give you a holler tomorrow to pick up the 30's and nothing more. My 800 sq foot apartment looks like an audio trade show; I bring home anything more than the 30's, and I won't have enough room to masticate in peace.

    18" high, 10.5" wide, 11" deep - pics added above. They are big shelf speakers, those tiles on the fireplace are 12"x12".

    There are a couple spots I'll touch up - the flash made them really jump out (and look a lot worse). The finish is really nice, good deep red with black tones and accents in the grain.

    I'll get the NHT pics up tomorrow, I'm taking a night off to watch the game.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    Russ,

    What version are these? Any issues, cosmetically or functionally? I have a pair of Superones I was planning to use as the front stage, but these would work well there and the Superones could go in the rear. Any idea how the timbre of these two series' match up? Also, what's the center speaker that matches these?

    If they are still available, can you tell me your price, shipped to 53147? I'd like some pictures, too, if you have them. Please e-mail them to tomlarwa at gmail dot com.

    Thanks!

    Tom

    The AR's are *gone*.

    Sami, all that's left is the NHT - if you want a local deal, tell me asap as they are up on ebay. I've got a great Signet powered sub also we can deal on that is also up on the bay.

    Tom, the NHT speakers are up on ebay, item 110207856060.
