You might be right - I sold those speakers 6 years or so ago. Just thought I'd write the review to memorialize my experiences. I'd do the same for the Mini's but I only owned them for 1 year and honestly I don't remember exactly how they sound.That being said - yes the Mini's did have a creamy dark character. They played loud and threw a large soundscape - except the bottoms of drums and loud bass were MIA.
In fact own of the salesmen at a shop I frequent told me that the PSB distributor/agent considered the Mini's the best speaker in the PSB line.
I bought the Golds through a high end shop, it was reviewed in both Audio and Stereophile as and considered a serious loudspeaker. I've never seen PSB sold anywhere except mom and pop outlets and never through large chains. Surely you characterization of PSB owners makes light of them as serious audiophiles.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
