If you buy them from Crutchfield they should be returnable, no questions asked. Best to check the fine print beforehand, though.
PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them
As the title says, I am considering purchasing a pair of the PSB Imagine T3 loudspeakers. I have always had great respect for Paul Barton's speaker designs, and these seem to have clearly reached a new height.
A key reason I am considering these is the seldom seen (aka extremely hard to earn) rave review by John Atkinson of Sterephile, who said:
"While more expensive than its predecessor, the Synchrony One, PSB's Imagine T3 offers superb sound quality for what is still a relatively affordable price. To improve on its combination of full frequency-range sound, clarity, and neutrality, you would need to spend almost three times as much. It is also a beautiful piece of audio furniture."
Other reviews and commentary echo comments on the high level of performance of these speakers, as well as their relative warmth (important to me). These are not inexpensive speakers. My concern is that I have never purchased a pair of speakers without auditioning them, but have no opportunity whatsoever to listen to these prior to purchase. There are no dealers who have the speakers on display in my entire state, and none at all within less than a six hour drive, minimum.
I would appreciate any comments you have on the relative performance and sound characteristics of your T3's. Thank you.
