PSB Image T6 fuzzy sound


Hello,

I just got a pair of PSB Image T6’s. I am noticing that on source material containing female vocals (Norah Jones, Feist), the high frequencies are accompanied by a fuzzy, “staticy” muddled sound. Sadly it makes the recordings pretty hard to listen to. I do not recall hearing such coloration at the store where I demo’d them (I unfortunately did not listen to the same material at the store… I plan to head back there with my discs in hand when time permits). After initially thinking I got a defective pair, I played the same material on my surrounds which are PSB Image T5’s. Interestingly enough, I heard the same coloration. Given the similarity in the sound between the two sets of speakers, I am wondering if its one of my other components. Before I go down that path and shop for and swap out cables and amps, I wanted to get some idea from those out there who have listened to these speakers. Is this fuzzy, “staticy” muddled sound a characteristic of the latest incarnation of the PSB Image line? More importantly, is there anything I can do to clear up those highs?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi B_limo,

Thanks for the info. I didn't know what "Spotify" meant until your last post. At first I thought it was a new-fangled verb related to doing something with digital music. After poking around the web, I find that it's a service... one that I actually might be interested in. I'll have to look into it a bit more. Interesting what one can learn by asking seemingly unrelated questions. I've been living under a rock for the past 10 years!

Thanks again,
Kevin
got no idea what that is but i heard the exact same thing when i auditioned a pair of jamo R909's. The dealer scolded me and almost kicked me out of his shop
Lol, no worries Kevin! I'm new to the whole streaming audio thing myself but now that I've tapped into, there's no looking back. I used to look through hundreds of used c.d.'s and make multiple trips to the library to get new music everyday, but no more :-)
Spotify premium has a free month trial. You ought to give it a try! I think you'll like it.
I had a pair of totem forests shipped to me and they sounded like they were buzzy,from main drivers mainly.voice coils damaged in shipping, got new pair problem solved?
