Seems PSB and NAD is a match made in heaven, right? Can you please describe how it sound?

Warm.. and relaxing without loosing details.... Di sya tiring pakinggan malakas man or mahina ang volume... Addicting sound..

PSB mostly leans toward warm sounding while still exhibiting a detailed extension in the HF even in it's lower lines. While NAD gives good weight in the bottom end and provides that punchy dynamics that makes PSB speakers sound beautiful. If you have time to try it out, I suggest you hear it by yourself. I'm sure Sir Rex of What Hifi in Makati Cinema Square will be happy to let those gears be auditioned to your heart's content.

It's nice to know that they are warm. Long listening sessions will be made if the sound is non-fatiguing. Bright speakers are fatiguing. So since they are warm, are they good for vocals?

warm is mostly it's sonic signature. the really nice thing about psb speakers is it's excellent flat frequency response. it's balanced and lacks much coloration. here's the lab measures on the psb image t6

on an anechoic chamber

this means, it plays the material the way how it was recorded. so if it's a vocally engaging music, then you'll find what you're looking for and more

As far my reading goes, American and Canadian speakers like Paradigm, Klipsch and so with PSB are bright sounding speakers, forward sounding, more on treble side while European speakers are dark sounding and laid back. What is something with NAD that it turn the PSB into warm sounding and engaging speakers? I am expecting that the sound will be bright like Paradigm.

PSB speakers are voiced very differently from Paradigm's designs. Paradigm tends to significantly elevate the bass and treble regions for most of its speakers, while PSB tends to go after a more neutral balance.

Watt Hifi in MCS carries both paradigm and psb as well as other speakers. Try to audition them so you would be able to hear the difference. I'm sure you'd find them hardly similar.

I did have the chance to use a Yaqin vk2100 with a Dynaudio Audience 42. It was a tough load @ 4ohms and 86db for any whimpy amplifier, but the Yaqin drove it effortlessly. I compared it side-by-side with my Rotel RA-1520 and I found that the only advantage the Rotel has is ambience retrieval. Since the Yaqins are dirt cheap, I'd actually recommend it not unless you can dish out more cash for an amp.

As for the 316+b25 pairing, there are plenty people recommending the NAD-PSB combo.

I have tried the PSB Imagine Bs with different amps such as NAD, Rega Brio R, CJ, Yaqin, Emotiva. Never sounded bright to me.

I have a Yamaha receiver which sounded bright to me. I paired it with Polk and cant stand the trebel at high volumes. When i paired it PSB Image nawala yung brightness nung Yamaha.. Naging relaxing and warm.. Lalong nag improve nung nilagay ko na yung PSB sa NAD..
