I read through these posts and the 1st thing I see is how the S8 are discounted and they'vce never been heard by any of you. How the hell you can discount a speaker when you yourselves, have never heard them. This is BS, lacks merit and is based on pure speculation.

RGA , stop listening to your sales buddy and listen to them for yourself. He doesn't have your ears nor do you have his.. Again utter crap and nonsense.

Let me post you some reviews done on the PBS's platinum series speakers to show you how close the y have come in performance to the megabuck speakers;

My point is, people are discounting speakers based on the rep of the lower line speakers and that has no merit what so ever. Listen 1st with an open ear and then if you don't like.. fine.. But at least now its an informed decisision and not one made on specualtion and heresay.
