Stereophile

This is one of John Atkinson’s comments from his review of the Imagine T3 speakers in Stereophile:

"PSB's new flagship, is a three-way, five-driver floorstander built into a gracefully curved, veneered enclosure, adding up to a gorgeous-looking piece of furniture. The Imagine T3s revealed superb sound quality for what is still a relatively affordable price."

Each year Stereophile recommends the best components in their class:

The Absolute Sound

This is an exact quote from Andrew Quint's extensive review of the Imagine T3 speakers:

"If there’s an overused term in the frequently hyperbolic, what-am-I-going-to-say-this-time endeavor of audio-equipment evaluation, it could be game changer. Maybe there should be a rule: A reviewer can trot out that descriptor, say, only once every five years. I’ve not used game changer myself up to this point but—spoiler alert—I’m about to do so.."

Condition

The PSB Imagine T3 speakers up for sale here, are rated at 9 out of 10. They are in excellent condition. They appear just as they did when I first received them. As their original owner, I personally unboxed them, and placed them in their listening position, where they have remained.

One word of caution.  PSB Imagine speakers have a rubberized material that surrounds each of the 5 drivers in front, as well as the 3 rear ports.  Many of these speakers were manufactured with this material appearing to be defective, in which case the material deteriorates and becomes extremely “sticky” to the touch, thereby attracting all sorts of dust and debris, and being impossible to clean.  Be assured that the rubberized material on my speakers is in perfect, like new condition.

I am quite meticulous about my things (my wife would say anal). Please see the photos. The speakers themselves are Sonically and Mechanically perfect. Cosmetically, they appear perfect, as well. The grille cloths appear perfect. No tears, pulls, snags or fading. The beautiful curved black gloss wood cabinets, also appear perfect.  No scratches, marks, or blemishes that I can see.

They have never fallen, been involved in any type of accident, or been mistreated in any way. They have been modestly used, at reasonable listening levels, and cared for by me personally, their one and only user. Additionally, they have always resided in my non smoking, climate controlled home, and never been in storage.

The only reason these speakers are for sale is due to my intention to purchase a substantially more expensive pair of speakers.

Included in the sale: are 2 PSB Imagine T3 Speakers; the original PSB Shipping Cartons; the original PSB Packaging Material including the fabric protective sleeves; the original PSB Floor Spikes; the original PSB Port Covers; and the original PSB Owner's Guide
