With Recent Talk Here of PSB Stratus Goldi's,....

...I am wondering if anyone out there has followed an upgrade path that included the Goldi's. I very much like them in my system (take a look see). Given that I like their presentation, in general, what would anyone suggest as a step up from the Goldi's for about $3500 USED? Please limit responses to those that have experience with the Goldi's and have subsequently "kicked it up a notch".

BTW, I listen to a lot of jazz but still like to really rock the roll on frequent occasions.

CD- Appreciate the comments. This is a two-channel only system - no video. Afraid my consideration of Infinity is tainted from the purchase about 8 years ago of Infinity Sterlings for HT. Had the drivetrs replaced three times under warranty! :-(

Buy Stratus Minis with a PSB sub instead. You will get better imaging due to the tiny boxes and no hernia! The golds are monsters. I owned silvers and after a side by side with minis, I decided that PSB needs a diet.

I am not really interested in moving along the PSB line but, rather, moving up to something that has the same neutral type of presentation that is also versatile enough to handle a variety of music with an even higher degree of dynamics, clarity, and extension.

Now using Polk monitor 10 Had them for ten years. Considered the PSB goldi's Heard them in the dealer showroom extensively. Have 2 pair Image 2B in other systems in the house, and Alphas for the rear surrounds in the theater, but thought the sound of the golds a little too soft, rolled off on top, so bought a pair of B&W Matrix 802 series 3. Check out the Nautilus line of B&W. or older Matrix line. Otherwise try Proacs. Or go for planars Martin Logans,I love the M.L. Quests.
