I am familiar with the PSB speakers. They are designed by Paul Barton, Canada's most famous speaker designer. He regularly visits the facilities at the National Research Council of Canada to conduct research and design his speakers.
Depending on your budget, there are several lines and within each line, there are several models. The Image series are the most economical, followed by Imagine, Synchrony, and Platinum.
I own a pair of PSB Image S50 surround speakers. They are listed for $700 and I bought them for $500. They are outstanding. There are less expensive Image series (15, 25, 45, 50) available. Series 65 are the most expensive Image speakers. Don't be fooled by list prices. The actual market prices are a lot lower. You can also find them on Ebay-U.S. and Ebay-Canada.
