PSB Image t6 or Imagine T? No sub and rotel amp

Hello, I am relatively new to this and have a pretty specific question that I would really appreciate your help with. I am upgrading my speakers and really do like the PSB line. I know others will have differing opinions and suggestions for better value but I have narrowed it down to the PSB Image t6s and Imagine Ts. The two sets would be roughly the same price, with Imagine Ts being very lightly used and the T6s new. I have a Rotel 1520 integrated amp with 60 watts per channel according to the manual and no sub output. I only listen to music and mostly from my Rega turntable. In your opinion, which speaker would be the better option considering I don't need it for surround sound, there's no sub and the amp I have? Thank you very much for your help.

I think we need a moratorium on music style seeming important to speaker selection. "I listen mostly to streaming Bangra dance music and solo flute on 78s, with some Mahler and Tibetan Throat warbeling 45 rpm LPs"...I can't take it...please...I refuse to let my hifi dictate to me what it plays best as I insist it be a slave to my taste and play any damn thing I want to hear...cruel maybe, but I won't let it push me around...I repay it with frequent dusting and tube rolling.

Imagine T. $2200 per pair vs. $1300. Not familiar with the different lines in psb but it looks like the imagine is the next line up. I recently saw a pair of image t6's on the local c-list for $400...

I wonder where my response went? I wrote a long answer this morning but it hasn't appeared. I wish Agon would get their forums fixed. Anyway, basically I said I'd lean to the Imagine T because I like the Imagine B.

I have a set of Imaging Bs that got me into this hobby. Fantastic speakers. The Imagine line is above the Image line (which I have not heard). However, the designers usually save their better sound for the more expensive lines - like any product. My Imagine Bs image with pinpoint precision and cast a very real center image. For my small room, I can't imagine using the Imagine T because the B has so much bass already.

Lol, there it is Michael! Happens to me sometimes too, only mine never appear. By the way, is there a limit to how many curse words you use in a single thread?
