Here they are. Doro says I need to get at least 100 hours on them to settle in since they are just about new and they look it.
My picture taking is not great maybe I need more light. I will post a couple pictures of the x-over next.
I may have 50 hours on them so far but will say they sound really nice better than I expected.

    Have you tried them spiked without the platforms beneath them?

    Pretty nice looking speaker, though. :)

    No not yet.
    I thought I'd try something different to start then go back-wards.

    A picture of the x-over. The two small black vertical mounted caps are 4.7uF
    I think you can see the value of the resistor, 10 watt 1 ohm. I do not know what that black thing in the middle is :o I should :confused:
    The folks at PSB do not recommend doing anything to upgrade the x-over and I am not till I listen to them for a couple months. And then I may not since I can't seem to leave well enough alone. I may try fitting a couple caps in there and simply replacing the resistor somewhere down the road.

    Congrats....they look nice...but to be honest I haven't heard a pair of PSBs in ages and have no idea what they would sound like at this point. But since you do that's all that matters!

    Enjoy.

    Right out of the box the imaging and sound stage is impressive. I'll get another 12 hours on them today.

    Gotcha. I'd put money down that they'll sound better without those platforms, if i had money to put down. :p

    Cute crossovers. :D

    It will take all of 30 seconds to remove them when the time comes. One of the guys around here suggested trying this but can't remember which member. Maybe he will chime in.
    Those x-over are cute. I hate that word "cute" by the way :mad::eek::
