PSB Stratus Mini's


I may pick a pair of these up to pair with a Classe or Krell Integrated. Any impressions of the speakers?

You never gave us a price range.....you will always find something better if you keep raising the budget higher

I own 4 pairs of monitors currently, and still keep a pair of PSB Stratus Minis around. I find them to be very nuetral sounding with very good detail and soundstaging abilities, good all around performers at the under $500 used price they can be purchased for here. You can find dozens of professional reviews from 10 years ago for the Stratus Minis all very favorable.

If your budget is $500-1,000 used my Von Schweikert VR1 is faster more detailed sound which may appeal to some tastes, but in some systems may have too much treble energy.

My GMA Europa and Tyler Taylo Reference have smoother richer sound and represent outstanding overall performance in all catagories, sound great with all types of music even avarage rock recordings, but also will cost more used than Stratus Mini especially the Taylo.......GMA Europa sometimes are seen used for @$700 I believe.
Is that BK ST202 amp a mosfet design?
That goes way back and testing my long term memory, but was very popular line of reasonably priced SS gear 10-15 years ago.

If you want speaker with extended treble energy, fast detailed with great presence the Von Schweikert VR1 should be considered. I have read that Revel M20 has similar sound but used price is still pretty high I believe.

Of course if you are getting new integrated amp no telling what synergy will be........safe choice that is easy to system match many systems and sounds very good with almost any music is the Green Mountain Audio Europa monitor....
