PSB T3 I have not heard better bass from a floor standing/tower, have you? Under $7.5K

Dear all,

Although a long time member of Audiogon I am a relative novice at this so please be gentle with me!:)

I live in Singapore and recently was able to audition the PSB T3 floor standing speakers, when I had gone to the dealers to pick up a new Bluesound Node 2i.

The music I heard coming out of the PSB T3 had the best bass (Tight, punchy and articulate) I have ever heard from a tower speaker. The amp was a not so powerful NAD M10 (class D). Admittedly, it is very likely that the dealers audition room was perhaps well treated for such a bass response. There was no subwoofer playing.The rest of the sound spectrum was also very balanced. Vocals were amazing. The top end was very good, but not perfectly airy. perhaps the only very minor criticism i had.

My question to all of you is: Has anyone heard A/B'ed a tower speaker in under $7.5K range with the PSB T3 that can better the bass of the PSB T3?

Problem with that is if you use the crossover from sub a speaker like a T3 loses its reason for being unless you just play rock . You loose the great mid and treble for bass , bad trade .A sub with a crossover as good as T3 would cost
more the T3 itself .

Dear akg_ca & schubert,

Thank you very much for your responses.

I am shying away from a sub for reasons that schubert has mentioned. Hence was looking at 'one stop solution' in a floor standing speaker.

I will scout this forum and the internet to see if there are any A/B comparisons with the PSB T3.

The PSB T3 are perhaps the Best Buy out there for high end speakers.  

Google PSB T3 Reviews.

Haven't heard the PSB but I'm very happy with my Scansonic MB-6 designed by Michael Borresen of Raidho. IMHO they are giving them away these days.
