The smaller drivers of the T5 are not going to deliver as much bass. They would really need a subwoofer unless you can get by with somewhat limited low bass.

The T6 are excellent, but there does seem to be poor availability. They may be discontinuing them, I suppose.

I suggest that you consider the Monitor Audio Bronze B6 speakers, which Audio Advisor is selling for $1000 per pair. They are very good, and can be had in a nice walnut finish or black.

Saturday Audio has a pair of black T6 demo speakers for $799. I think they carry full warranty, but check that out.

Terrible support. I purchased a set of Image T5 and C5 speakers with a Subsonic 6i. I was very happy with the set until my Subsonic 6i died only a few months after the 1 year warranty. When I inspected the amp, the spare fuse was blown, and there was a small burn mark on one of the circuit boards. When I contacted the company, they asked for the serial number of the amp. There wasn't one. The PSB rep said the speaker was "B-stock" or refurbished. A company rep offered to sell me a new amp for $319.48+shipping. That's much more than a brand new comparable sub from other manufacturers. The reseller sold me a used sub with a known problem as new, and the PSB rep was backing his reseller. Stay away from this company!
