I have owned the Stratus Goldi for about 7 months. They provide a great midrange (slightly warm) and bass (tight and well controlled) and are highly musical. Extended highs sound great with Jazz recordings but can be slightly bright with violins and strings on classical recordings, but I think this is more the fault of my Krell KAV300r receiver than the PSB's. Rated Class B by Stereophile and I totally agree. For the money they provide a great value for anyone looking for a musical full range speaker. I currently have them set up as stereo only but they should also prove great for Home Theater without a sub. They are not shy speakers and are able to play loud (great on orchestral recordings).

They are 4 ohms and do need a solid state amp with some oomph to drive them cleanly, like my 150 W (300W into 4 Ohms) Krell. They are large speakers and tend to dominate the room.

They should be a must listen/audition for anyone looking for speakers in the under $4000 range.
