Need some help. Rega RS5s over PSB Imagine Ts?


I recently sold my current speakers and was planning on buying the PSB Imagine Ts. When I went to demo them a 2nd time to make sure, the sales rep recommended I give the Rega RS5s a try. When I did an A/B comparison I was surprisingly more impressed with the Regas. I know a lot of it is based on personal preference but I'm pretty new to this and just wanted to make sure I won't regret my purchase. I can purchase them for pretty much the same price. My question is: has anyone out there compared these two and what ate your impressions? You think overall the Imagine Ts are a better value? Any help is appreciated. I tend to over think/analyze/ stress about these things. Thanks.

Rega will sound great in 12x15, Could say with Rega 3's in that room as well/
I agree with Shubert above... rega shines on acoustic/vocals, while for rock/nu disco I'd go with PSBs... too bad you can't get both.
I have the Rega Rs5 and a pair of image t5.
Image t5 are not in the same league as the rega; after all this is the poor man's version of the imagine. But the t5 give more HT-type bass and it can be fun at times. The Regas image very well, are more forward, and have a super clean midrange. The bass is there, less impactful than the PSB but much cleaner.
The tough decision is on you as they are both very good speakers.
OK I am biased. I have REGA speakers and REGA kit.

I had TOTEM Arros and FORESTS and enjoyed them very much
Along came the REGA R9s and I had to have them ! Bought them and never looked back!

Had the REGA R1s in my B system .... superb.

REGA gets the midrange "right" like few other speakers can. Their bass is crisp and tight and never woolly. There is a reason why many NAIM owners have REGA speakers - look in Pink fish audio forum

check out the review of the R7s; they share many of the same drivers.

Thank you all very much for your help and opinions. I'm going to order the RS5s today. I was really surprised they sounded as good as they did. Own a RP3 which I love but had no idea they did speakers this well.
I am listening to charles mingus now, with a MSB DAC and a Marantz pm8004... I love my RS5, which I bought in September 2011, even though I am not too crazy about Mingus ah hum brought home a few minutes ago.
What is your amplification?
