Speakers from a certain geograpical area tend to have a similar sound, and the "neutral" sound you refer to is simply bland to me, and I dont use my speakers for "business", I use them for pleasure.
Theres' boston" sound, "west coast sound", english" sound, and Canadian sound, with either the "aluminumized cones" or the clear polyproplene.
I have heard Axioms, and paradigms, PSB not so much, the local dealer folded in a hurry,
but while my buddies M80s' sounded decent enough you couldn't distinguish them from a zillion other speakers in what is a crowded market
And don't mention Paradigm, god! What a crappy sound.
But I do hope you enjoy your little book, and your pen, peruvian.
Nice to know you got something for your money
Again, you say that you have not listened to PSB that much....and I'd be curious to know which model you were listening to. What you need to realize is that the Platinum line of PSB is much different than anything else that have ever made. This says a lot considering that the PSB Stratus Gold's were one of the finest speaker in it's price-range for nearly a decade! Untouched by anything else near it and to some extent speakers costing well above it. It was a benchmark speaker for it's class. The Platinum's are in a league to their own as well surpassing the Gold's by a mile and entering into the land of exotic high-end. While they aren't in the same division as Wilson Audio, Kharma, Hansen, or MBL, they are strong contenders in those higher-end divisions. It's probably fair to say that the Platinum T6 or T8 is the last stop before going super high end like Aerial Acoustics and such. The guy from Soundstage wrote a review on the T6 saying how they were going toe-to-toe with the Aerial Acoustics 20T, even though it cost 1/4th as much.

So if you are going to blabber on about things that you don't know anything about, at least do some reading, research, and maybe some listening and at least try and come off like you have somewhat of a clue.
