PSB Image B6 & Denon AVR-4306

I should probably clarify that I'm not saying that PSB isn't a quality speaker, just that I didn't appreciate it's signature sound. I would describe it as dull, but others might consider it to be warm. My Focals are detailed to me while other consider them bright.

Elizabeth has a good point about looking for a great buy. I'd suggest doing this as well while keeping in mind that it's not money well spent if you purchase a speaker with immediate plans of a future upgrade. Try to get something that you'll be happy with for a while or at least plan to use as rear channel speakers in the future.

I'm not sure what you end goal is for a system, but my father-in-law has Focal 706v speakers connected to an Onkyo 606 receiver and is set for life. A friend of mine has Focal 807v speakers with an Integra 40.2 receiver and I think he's happy for life. I have Focal 836v speakers with an Inteegra 50.1 and I'm pretty much happy for life when it comes to speakers. My point is to make sure that all of your audio purchases are made with the future in mind rather than just getting by for now.

Gonna be the devils advocate and say all of the above are good suggestions....including psb...I have heard Focal at my dealer...and I don't believe the models stated are a quantum leap above the psbs...we are still talking sub 1k monitors...I.find the focals a bit bass shy...imho....if u don't have a lot of options.in your area...psb is a solid choice....believe audio advisor has em....so u can trial at home...good luck

Phasecorrect - If the OP likes the sound of PSB then that's what matters. I just wasn't personally impressed, but I don't doubt that other might enjoy or even prefer their sound.

I think the tweeter on the Focal's are amazing, but their dominant sound can also have the effect of making the bass take a back seat...or to use your words...bass shy.

I thought the PSB and Monitor Audio products had a similar sound, but the PSBs seemed more expensive for similar quality.
