Just curious if anyone here has owned / listened to the PSB Imagine T3s and wanted to know your thoughts.
I own some PSB outdoor speakers (CS1000) and like them.
I am picking up a pair of the T3s along with a C3 center but haven't heard them in person.
I normally wouldn't do that, but hadn't found a place to audition them yet and came across a deal I didn't think I could pass up.
Here is the website for the PSB Imagine line.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
The setup will be used for Home Theater, but just as much for 2 channel listening of music.
I listen to basically everything... Rock, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rap, Dance.. etc, etc.
My setup will be changing so not exactly sure what will be driving the T3s yet.
I recently purchased a Denon AVR-X4300H. It works great overall, but I find the sound to be lacking in a few areas.
I preferred the overall sound of a comparable Onkyo (TX-RZ810) but it had some issues and didn't play nice with my Panasonic TV (kept displaying the HDMI1 input on the screen), so I returned it.
Both have App control, but they only worked when I wired via ethernet.. no luck over wifi (not really an issue).
I know the Onkyo has a bit of an artificial mid-bass boost, but I prefer that to something that sounds thin/doesn't have enough weight in the lower octaves. The Denon just sounds a bit thin and less cohesive overall.
The main speakers I have compared both units with are Polk Monitor 10B (old, but a very good speaker for their price).
Also tested them with some NHT Super Ones, the PSB Cs1000s and a pair of Definitive Technology AW6500 (another outdoor speaker).
I am also getting a Monoprice Monolith 5 Amp (a Made in the USA rebadged ATI amp like Outlaw audio).
I will try it with the Denon as the pre, though I am pretty sure the preamp part of the Denon is what is really shaping the tone, so I will most likely be looking for a different Home Theater preamp and use the Denon to drive my Outdoor and or Kitchen / dining room speakers (it has 3 zones, airplay and App control so will work well).
