I just sold my PSB Stratus Mini's, which are excellent speakers for classical and jazz but not very sensitive. They were tested by Stereophile at 85db/1watt/1metre. My musical tastes are wide and they include alot of trance and techno. I exercise in the same room as my sound system where I like to crank the techno. The dimensions of my sound room is 27ft by 11ft and I found that the Mini's weren't filling it enough for my tastes unless I really cranked my amp. I desired more room filling music and bass. My choice was either 2 subs for stereo sound or sell my speakers and replace them with more efficent floorstanding speakers. I listened to Klipsch, Monitor Audio, and PSB floor standers and read reviews on Cerwin Vega. I really enjoyed all of them but they still seemed to lack great bass. My friend has a pair of CV AT-8 which I also auditioned. Wow! Old small speakers with bass! After reading the reviews on this website I decided to get these unfashionable Cerwin Vegas. I narrowed it down to the V series and finally decided on the V-15F. They are really sensitive at 102db/1watt/1metre with response down to 26hz which is subwoofer territory. I have just ordered them and yet to receive them. Can't wait! You may want to consider this as well. You can find Cerwin Vegas at very resonable prices from Online dealers. Just google it.
