Image over Bronze

Hi Guys,

My friend and I auditioned the PSB Image B25 bookshelves last weekend. A brief on the same

Setup:

Room - This time too the room size was almost the same as my room, except for the height. Most importantly, the room was not acoustically treated in any way, no carpets, speaker stands very ordinary, a big TV in between, glass showcase behind and T45 floorstanders next to them. Typical Indian middle class living room...I felt very comfortable
CD player - NAD C521BEE
Amp - NAD C325BEE
Normal Interconnects and Speaker Cables were used.

How did the speakers perform?
Well...Without doubt, B25s are quite neutral sounding speakers I have heard till date. On the whole, everything seemed to be very balanced and smooth...especially the mid frequency tones . High frequencies and transients were sweet. Bass was very tight . Though B25s were detailed, soundstage and imaging was decent...I felt I wanted a little more depth. Maybe with a better acoustic setup, these could improve. One big aspect was that I wasn't tired of listening even after an hour and half of Floyd, Doors, Clapton, Norah, Led Zepp, AC~DC, Stan Getz, John Mcloughlin, Jeff Beck, Pearl Jam, REM etc..

In the end (really...is there an end to all this? remember saying the same last time around )..I liked them better than Monitor Audio Bronze 2s which still are very good speakers on their own. Also in the long run, I felt B25s would suit me better than BR2s with their relaxed and pleasant interpretation .

So its PSB Image B25s to pair with my NAD C325BEE!
