Strength:

relistic sound, great value, awsome definition!

Weakness:

Base is a little weak for symphonies.

I found something quite interesting about people who don't like PSB speakers in general. They are not Classical music fans. What they are looking for are speakers that will shake the furniture and rattle the windows. However, if you are a classical music fan, then I say that the 600i is one spectacular deal. I got mine for $375 ... and, frankly, am feeling like a criminal. It's amazing how realistic these little towers are when playing single instruments or smaller bands. The only weakness is in symphonies. Normally, I don't use the base adjustment on my preamp because I want the most natural sound, yet I find it necessary to do so for these speakers.

Strength:

Beautiful highs,large soundstage, small footprint and attractive vinyl cherry.

Weakness:

none

I love these speakers. I bought them as a bedroom system. I have psb Stratus Bronzes as a 2-channel livingroom system and polk Monitor 10B's (15 years old speakers)as a surround system in the playroom.
The psb century 600i play everything well. They are accurate and uncolored. The highs are crystal clear and can be mesmerizing. The mids are solid. The bass is satisfying and tight. The psb bronzes (which I also love) do more bass and can handle more power, but it is not necesserily better bass. The 600i's also look good with small footprint in cherry.
If I were headed to a third world country, I would take these instead of the psb bronzes,because they are smaller and equally as satisfying.
They have been replaced by the Image series and are real bargains at cloe out prices, but were under priced at original $600 cost. jnd
