PSB new Imagine X series line up revealed

Hello audio enthusiasts,

Today I came across news and thought of sharing here.

PSB has launched New Imagine X series. It gives same sound quality as original imagine series for the price of image series.

Top most floor standers cost 1298$ for pair. Looks like there has been compensation made in the looks to match image series price. If these are priced well in India, sure it can win lots of hearts. Quite excited to audition it Not sure how long would it take to reach India.

I'm not sure whether I can provide external link. If it's against rules let me know I'll remove it

Specs of new X imagine series are up in psb official site. PSB T6 retails at 1199$ / pair and XT2 will be sold at 1298$ / pair. So I was so curious what is the difference in terms of spec sheet.

I have compiled only difference here below though i dont understand most of those

Weight                       23.6 kg                         22 kg

Now I have a question for Audio experts. I could see from specs that, new XT series inherit same driver as original Imagine.

Whoever has auditioned between Image and Imagine series can tell how much bid difference would be there and in what way. But these sensitivity and frequency response differences are due to drivers or the way system has been designed or tuned ??? !!!

I also wonder if XT series is going to make much difference in terms of sound quality, how will people choose to buy Image series as there is only 99$ difference.
