I didn't see that info in your review.
It looks like a great value. Nearly as good as the Vandersteen 7 in terms of measured in-room response! But I recall the previous PSB flagship was built in China (that's a deal-breaker for me).

There is nothing about country of manufacture on the packing boxes and
all there is on the speakers themselves is a Canadian flag. I believe
the Imagine T3 is indeed manufactured in China - certainly the enclosure
and drive-units are sourced from China.

Packing up the speakers today to be returned to PSB, I found in small print
on the outer carton: "Designed and engineered in Canada. Manufactured in
China."

Thanks! for sharing- JA
Hi Beetlemania,
In case you needed another reason not to buy things made in China, here's another one.
(It's kind of long, so I use the YouTube settings to speed the playback up by 1.5x. This trick works well for almost all non-music videos as a time-saver.)
To be fair what the Chinese government or black market body parts medical trade is doing isn't the same as what audio companies are doing. It's like when Ford was letting people die in their cars knowing they were helping murder people because it was cheaper to pay lawsuits than to spend a few bucks to save lives - we don't then say - hey never buy anything made in America - Heck Henry Ford was paying Hitler to gas Jews in WWII. Amazingly people never stopped buying Ford! Or PPG&E and Erin Brokevich.
So pot is calling the kettle black here. How many companies in the States let people die from illness in the US because they don't have the bucks to buy medical treatment? Actively killing someone for their kidneys in China or passively saying - sorry sir - please leave our hospital and die slowly in the street because you don't have money for the kidney operation? That's a lot of hair splitting isn't it.
And in neither instance can the guy selling audio equipment be blamed for this? At least in the US you get a vote to change it - in China if you try to vote to change it you will go missing.
My deal is clearly broken!

"Initially welcoming him, they have scorned Harry Wu - probably the world's foremost authority on Chinese forced labour camps - since he declared that he found no evidence of the organ harvesting allegations."

Few people care about things that do not affect them personally.
My best friend died waiting for a kidney. I was one of the lucky ones because I shared a rare blood type with a young man who was killed in a horrible car/train crash. My donor's #1 passion in life was music, so I now listen in his honor.
I may finally have the chance to tell my story and will give credit where credit is due. Thanks Charles for enlightening me.

Wow.
The video didn't strike me as especially credible 'til the clips of the Republican congress-critter and the MP. I couldn't finish the video - too disturbing. I've got some other work to do . . .
On another note, nice interview in SP but it seemed like they must have edited out large sections.
What is "Republican congress-critter"?
congress critter = congress member
