Should I buy PSB Image T6's for $800?

Upgrading from Epos ELS3 bookshelf speakers, A local deal has an excellent condition used pair of the PSB Image T6's for $800. Would these be a really great step up? They'll be used with a Peachtree Nova DAC/amp. I know little about how much power speakers need to drive, so I want to make sure this combo would be good.

Did you like the EPOS sound? I never cared much for the ELS3 (sounded boxy to me), but the EPOS M12i for $720 (HCM Audio) and EPOS' EPIC series are worth checking out.

The PSB will sound different than the EPOS, not better or worse, but different.

When Upscale Audio was first selling the Peachtree, they were pairing it with ERA speakers.

I have a pair of T65 for sale for $600 here on audiogon. very similar speaker. $800 seems a little high for used speakers

Huh? The T6 go for around $900 in b-stock/floor models, so $800 seems pretty reasonable for a like-new pair I can go see and pick up locally, doesn't it?

The other pair I'd consider is the Monitor Audio RX6, but from what I can tell the PSB is considered to be slightly better for a similar price.
