Psb Platinum speakers

Don't want to get too off topic here or make it sound like
I am PSB fanboy, but besides the decent amp size of Gold-I they really need at least 16x16 size space to sound good.
This means pull them 5-6ft out from speaker wall to get best imaging etc.

Not saying they are unbeatable at their price level, but they offer good value for audiophile. I'm sure the Platinums will sound even better but they should at 2x the price.

I own some PSB Silver-I also and think they are a little more detailed and image even better vs Gold-I, but overall I prefer the Gold-I sound.

To Gmood1:

Where exactly did you audition the Platinums with VTL's?? In conversation with one of the largest distributors of PSB products just 3 days ago I was told they are scrambling to get hold of a pair of the new Platinums, any pair by the way.

Rjhalla I audition them in Atlanta,Ga at Audio Video Alternatives ph 770-931-0606.

I'm still looking... haven't found a PSB dealer with any in stock yet. I called PSB to inquire, there's one dealer authorized in all of NY state, one dealer in New Jersey. The NJ dealer is waiting for stock, haven't talked to the NY dealer. The lady at PSB was almost snotty when I asked if they were intending a wider distribution than this, and could they please hurry, there's a bunch of us Stratus Gold-i owners who can't wait to hear the Platinums. She said that only very few dealers would get these. The NJ dealer indicated the PSB is very slow to ship the T8s. Wonder if they're having manufacturing startup problems?

I check all around Iowa, Missouri and Minnesota. No luck either.
