ayun, thanks for the info master.  nakalimutan ko yung exact model ng sub dun kina sir rex :) and i was able to listen to it using the test tone you you lent him. impressive nga. walang ka-effort effort yung 20Hz.

looking at the table, nice performance vs the pb12nsd. it looks like it's more powerful but the svs can consistently go lower. and yeah, since the new pb12nsd are using sledge amps these figures may change. thanks for this data.

i guess the real advantage the 6i has would be it's excellent pricing vs the svs. mukhang good value for the money siya. plus the aesthetics doesn't hurt either. hopefully it comes in dark cherry!  ;D


The 6i appeals to me because of the great bandwidth uniformity (it's flatter above 25Hz) and substantial output (4dB higher on average is not small), while retaining decent extension. It plays louder and flatter than the other pounders from Infinity, Klipsch and Paradigm, while delivering 20Hz output close to the SVS.

Agree with the 6i perfomance. The most obvious advantage of the hd10 is with the output to footprint ratio. In which case it will not pose a problem for small listening areas.

At Watts HiFi the subs are still labeled as "Subsonic" which differs from the web site of PSB. Maybe for Asia they are named differently?

Maybe? I've seen them labeled as Subsonic and as SubSeries online.

Palimos po master para makabili na ako nito  ;D Mukha siyang pb13ultra na kulang ng isang port  ;D

@Buzzworth
Cash price of the 6i is very attractive. It's competing on the same level of Klipsch RW12D and Polk Audio DSW Pro 660. PM sir Rex/Otep_32 for more details :)

tama idol. gandang sub yan para sa iyong bagong home audio project  ;)

I was watching American Idol in stereo mode and PSB B6 is really something  :), so curiosity got me and I tried different sets of speakers, Bose Acoustimas 5, Denon bookself, and my favorite Diatone speaker but it was really the PSB that keeps amazing me, speacially don sa part ng openning ng AI, ang galing. How I wish I have enough budget to get the higher model of PSB but for now PSB B6 will do.  ;D

try to audition it and compare with more mainstream brands. i'm sure you would still be surprised how good the B6 is. probably the best one in it's price level.  :)

Master Jao, goodmorning  :) Naku master ibang level pa rin ang focal vs psb. Lalo na kapag naka beryllium tweets. i'll just compare the entry level focal chorus vs the psb imagine series due to my familiarity with the focal aluminum tweets and my extensive auditioning of the imagine.

for focal, highs are a lot more extended and sweet compared to an imagine t. it has an airy crisp sound which I think is a focal trademark.

sa psb naman, it's more dynamic and has more presence. a bit forward but not aggressive. has a wide soundstage compared to having that focal airy feel.

midbass wise, i haven't listened to a chorus tower yet so i guess this isn't a fair comparison but focal's polyglass drivers are known to have a polite midbass sound. so it's tight without any overhang. for psb, the midbass is strong and pronounced.

 ;)

They do. Quoting PSB's Website:

"Our parent company owns a well respected, critically acclaimed line of electronic components called NAD Electronics. NAD offers a wide variety of audio and video components for custom installation, home theater and hi-fi applications. These products offer outstanding performance, value and simplicity while complimenting the line of PSB speakers beautifully."

For the C326BEE, check out the PSB Image series speakers. Remember to listen before you buy.

If you are near the makati area, Watts Hifi in Makati Cinema Square carries them. Sobrang bait pa ng mga may-ari nun. They will let you audition almost everything to your contentment. Plus he gives out the best prices pa. You can PM otep_32.  ;)

For me the 326bee and psb image b6 works very well together. If want more bass, try their floorstanders. Their Image series are very easy to power. The 326bee is capable enough to power the T6. I even tried it with the Imagine T. The latter combo blew me away.  :)

sakto sir, mas matalas ang pandinig ng mga babae.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range
"There is a difference in sensitivity of hearing between the sexes, with women typically having a higher sensitivity to higher frequencies than men.The vibrations of the ossicular chain displace the basilar fluid in the cochlea, causing the hairs within it, called Stereocilia, to vibrate. Hairs line the cochlea from base to apex, and the part stimulated and the intensity of stimulation gives an indication of the nature of the sound. Information gathered from the hair cells is sent via the auditory nerve for processing in the brain."

if she's into audio, i'm sure she will enjoy her time there  :)

Watts Hifi also carries Paradigm plus many other brands. She can go there and compare to her heart's content :) The 326bee should also be available there, so you don't need to bring your amp anymore to know how the pairing with each speaker would be.  :)
