Thought I would add my two cents in regard that the PSB speakers would be good for HT. I recently (two weeks ago) auditioned the PSB Silveri and Goldi speakers and found them to be very good indeed in the price range for two channel listening. Not to say that they would not be fine for HT, but I would not limit (these two models anyway) to HT only, which to some of us that prefer two channel systems may consider the HT recommendation to be a negative reference. I did however see them set up in HT configurations with smaller models for the rear channels, but did not audition them in HT format. My personal preference was the less expensive Silveri (which had less bass) and was more to my taste and also sounded very good over all with the different types of music that I used for the audition. I also auditioned Silverline and Coincident speakers at the same shop and found them all to have merit. The Silverline speakers were my favorites (with a tube amp and preamp) but were also double (I believe) the price of the Silveri's. The PSB's also showed exceedingly good cosmetic craftsmanship in piano black. I would definately consider them if my speaker budget were doubled and if I could somehow detain my cats from damaging their beautifully finished cabinets.
