If you listen to the T3's, you'll forget about how good the others sound for sure, but you are likely to immediately begin wondering how PSB got these $7,500 speakers so wrong, when they have a long-standing history of getting it right.  I have several pairs of PSB's, from the small XB's for my shop system, to the older Stratus Gold I's.  I am so glad the store had a trade in pair of the Stratus Gold I's when I went in to audition the T3's.  The T3's sounded awful.
IMO, if you are going to spend $7K, you owe it to yourself to audition the Legacy Audio Signature SE.  I can't find a better OVERALL speaker at that price.  Air Motion ribbon tweeters, dedicated mid driver, and two 10" woofers for 22Hz bass extension.  Of course, at $10K, the Legacy Focus SE knocks it out of the park.
smitchem1,

Try the PSB Imagine T3's! You will forget about the other two! 😉
And your option is based on the reviews or you have actually compared all three in the same system?
For less than $7K you can easily find a mint Alto Utopias so why bother with 1038 be..... YMHO
Take your amplifier to a store that will allow you to listen to several speakers.  If you have the opportunity , try the Monitor Audio line.  I have a 40w/channel Mystere' amp and although my speakers are supposed to get 100-200 watts the Mystere powers them very well.  

Don't ask so much opinion as the only thing that matters is how they sound to you.  Make sure you are listening to as pure a source as possible and bring your own software.  

Enjoy the journey...
