Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3?


Hello!

Have anyone heard this speaker? How does it sound? How is the speaker compared to Synchrony One? I had Synchrony One for some years ago and know it very well.

Thanks.

We just got our demo pair of T3 in to the shop and I have to agree with the other posters, for the money they are amazing speakers,

We compared the T3 to the Syn One we just took a pair back in trade and the difference is huge.

The Mc eq will make a small difference in making an older bad 80's recording any difference, as the recording technology and mastering for many recordings had too much compression
Update on our demo pair which are really starting to sing.

The shops owner has been breaking the speakers in every day since they first came in and boy have they gotten even better.

We are both blown away the T3 is a completely different animal from any past PSB. These are world class speakers which have more in common with $10k and above priced speakers.

The clarity in the treble is world class so is the bass. Macro dynamics are also exceptional.

We are just amazed at how good these new speakers really are, and we have a great $10k system set up with the new $2,500 Parasound Halo integrated amp/dac.
My store, Audio Doctor, in NJ sells both brands, the Tannoys work better on tubes and their treble is way more forward. The older NAD stuff is okay the M3 was quite powerful but lacks the transparency of their later products. 

Either way I would upgrade to a better amp and source then a Node if you really want to hear what either speakers can do. The new NAD 32 integrated is mind blowing and represents a huge step forward over the older stuff, other great integrated depending on room size and volume required, Unison Research a Unico 90 high current hybrid, the new Micromega M100 looks promising we will have all three on display. 

My feeling with the right amp and source the T3 is a more refined speaker with a much more realistic soundstage.
Just talked to Dave store, owner, and we do have an M32 on order. 

They are shipping out soon,  The Dac should sound the same as what is in the M51 which is a great dac, extremely smooth and musical. 

You guys who haven't yet purchased the T3 might also want to listen to the new Paradigm Persona, a bit more expensive $10k vs $7.5 for the PSB but extremely good deep bass and amazing clarity an equilly fantastic speaker.
