Hmm, just curious. I have no experience with Theil, but from all I have read and from experience listening to, the very thing that most folk seem to regard as PSB's strongest point is it's incredible imaging quality. Currently I own the silveri's. I'm overwhelmed with their soundstage, as are...

Looking at around $800 or so max. Just saw that NAD rates it's receivers for 4ohms with low distortion, but they are a bit pricier than I want to go right now. As well, I haven't heard much about their quality, only that they are marketed with PSB. Would be curious if anyone had particular...

(I could really use some serious help here folks, rather befuddled right now) ...To drive the PSB Stratus Series. I'm looking to purchase a solid receiver that will be versatile with regards to adding seperate amps at a later date, but will be sufficient solo until then for solid/clean...

That's another good point, Mike, and thanks for bringing it up. I often see the ratings of receivers at 8 and even 6 ohms, but very rarely do I see them rate for 4 ohms. When speaking to my PSB rep, he replied to this question that in order to drive the 4 ohm speakers, you can use just about any...

Thanks for the reply John. I guess I find it interesting, if not a bit odd, that they change the impedance setup on speakers that are meant to be matched together. They are all from the Stratus line, and there is no other option but to have the four around at 4 ohms and the center(2 choices...

Thanks very much for your reply. I probably need to research the two receivers a good bit more, as I've heard people with very strong feelings one way or the other. As far as power ratings, I thought they were about the same, within 5w per channel. Also, the 3803 does come with multi zone...

Real quick, while most speakers and receivers all seem to be rated for 8 ohms, my new PSB's, silveris and mini's, are rated at 4 ohms. The C6 center is 8 ohms, which seems a bit strange, but hopefully someone a good bit better informed than I am will be able to explain that seeming disparity...

Hi folks Thanks for the browse. I'm currently outfitting my room with the PSB Stratus line(minus the sub, will get that elsewhere), already have the new silveri's for fronts, and will be getting the C6 center and mini's for surrounds. My question is what would be some of your higher...

As I've mentioned, I'm in the process of grabbing a nice stratus set-up, and was finally about to make the purchase. After being quoted $1900 for the mini's and C6 at Audio Video Alternatives(local dealer), I was just about resigned to that price, when I called Kirk at Stereoland. Not only did...

Bump I could really use some advice here, would love to go back to the dealer with a good idea of a price I might be able to settle in on. Thanks again!

I was offered $1900 out the door on a pair of stratus mini's and a C6i center, all in piano black finish. It seemed to me that there was some room in the price though from the salesman. I was hoping you folks might be able to offer up what you think would be a good realistic price to shoot...

Thanks everyone for your input. I might end up just starting out with the silver's, make sure that my denon can push them properly. One thing that keeps nagging at me is the mini's for surrounds. I was originally going to go with an image line set-up, and I was really looking forward to the...

After continueing to entertain many different set-ups, I'm pretty much settling in on a final choice. How about telling me what you think? (2) PSB Stratus Siveri towers. (1) PSB Stratus C5i center. (2) PSB Stratus mini's for surrounds. Going with my simple Denon avr-1700 for the first...

Hi folks. (fyi, this will be a long post, please feel free to cut off and reply at any point, as any advice I receive will be so much appreciated. The initial 2-3 paragraphs will have the essense of my questions) I've getting in a bit deeper in my quest for both a terific home audio/theatre...

Hey folks, thanks for the replies. Truly appreciated. A wonder that buying a home theatre/audio system seems more difficult than purchasing a new automobile. :) I'm now all over the place on the PSB line alone, from seeing major discount pricing on higher level items than I thought I'd...
