Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3?

These speakers are supposed to be able to perform well in acoustically challenged rooms, so they say. Any opinions about that?

I wonder how they compare in that regard to the Amphions and their UDD technology for "taking the room out of the sound."

I am also wondering about these speakers. Can any owner describe their experience?

I have already given my impressions above. FYI, a full review is scheduled to appear in the upcoming issue 255 of The Absolute Sound.

Bill_K,
Yes, I did read your impression. When you say you were moved by this speaker, what attributes did you care the most and which one did you not like or did not care for? You mention that you found the musicality of this speaker is rarely found at this price level - so which other speakers would you consider, as the challengers or "to be considered" when comparing with Imagine T3? Were you able to compare other speakers side-by-side with this one?
Please understand that I am not challenging your impressions about these speakers. I am trying to conjure up the attributes that I think that would be important to me, if I were to purchase these. For example I got in touch with a PMC owner and got good feedback on a speaker that I am interested in. If I understand that a speaker falls within my "liking" parameters, I will make efforts to seek out a listening demo. I am really looking at speakers like the Imagine T3, Spendor D7, PMC 24, Quad S series, etc. This is the max price range I can stretch into. If you have suggestions, you are more than welcome!

Milpai - I find them to be an exceptional value, but selecting speakers is a very subjective endeavor. Any further description that I provide would still require you to hear and compare them for yourself with the rest of your planned system. Component interaction can also be a determining factor that can make or break a given speaker selection in any given application. So I would strongly suggest that you arrange to audition the speakers you are interested in which include some very fine choices, along with the rest of your system if at all possible. Only you can determine what will please you the most, and I wouldn't want to steer you the wrong way towards reaching your desired goals. I haven't heard the other speakers that you listed but am familiar with the brands and have heard other models from those companies. Spendors generally have a more laid back presentation, while the PMCs are more forward and present. The Quads that I've heard are older models which I wouldn't compare to the newer S series you mentioned.

I find the T3s to offer tremendous dynamics with full bass extension, a smooth and uncolored midrange, and nicely extended and clear highs. They image very well with the cabinets doing a very nice disappearing act into a convincing soundstage that they recreate. In order to sound their best they require quality electronics. If you drive them with a subpar amp the highs can be too dry and analytical. Again this is why you would need to audition them with the rest of your system choices.
