[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 3031, member: 18"] You will find that with all shops that they push brands. 90% of the time the guys don't particularily care either about the sound, much more about their comission. Detail in a loudspeaker that surpasses a relatively decent headphone? I hate to break this to you, but that won't happen in a hurry. Forget what reviews state and just go with your ears, preferably under same/similar conditions. Your hearing varies with mood and days, so take your time and when you are ready arrange for an in-home audition. PSB are, like all speakers in the price category, heavily value engineered, though they seem to get more things right than the others in the very bottom most segment. If you do compare amps and the salesperson talks you into their different sound, have them proove it by letting them recommend the setup and then having you swap interconnects behind with them picking out which amp is playing, preferably without them having gotten to see the process of swapping interconnects (say do the experiment with a friend). Signal test CD and multimeter are handy tools for the levelmatching. [/QUOTE]
