My budget is somewhere around $3500-$4000 for a pair of floors. I am starting a stereo setup from scratch apart from my home theater.
I am getting the Synchrony One for about $3500 and the T2 for about $3700. Which one should I get? I did audition the Synchrony One and I liked it.Cannot get an audition of T2's in my city.
My question is, Synchrony One is discontinued now and a more refined Imagine series is out, correct? So, is it still worth paying $3500 for the Synchrony One Towers?
As soon as the Synchrony line was discontinued their value plummeted. Introduction of the Imagine T series killed their resale prices. Agree that $3500 is too high.
Synchrony One's are far superior to the T3's or the T2's. I have the old Status Gold i's that I have in my B system, and they still serve me well. When PSB went to the 3 x 7" woofers is when they went down hill (T3s).
Herb Reichert didn't think particularly highly of the PSB Imagine. John Atkinson didn't find they measured as well as other options either. The Golden Ear Triton 2+ has significantly better bass and the Focal 936 has both better bass, better imaging, and is less colored. Of those the 936 made it to the Recommended Gear list. It's not the crowd around here, or that they're made in China, but rather how they compare to the competition.
