PSB identification ?

[Caboverbob]

Yard sale price tag said $200, I offered $100 and was almost to my truck when the guy chased me down and accepted. These things are HEAVY ! I didn't have the thought to get full pics before stashing them at Dads house around the corner.......only these two......

I have emailed PSB these pics, but hoping someone here knows what they are. Drivers n foam are perfect, and there was lots of Lawrence Welk and Christmas albums for sale, so I don't think that they've been played too hard.

PSB responded after conferring with Paul Barton that they don't have any records back to 1991/92 when these were sold. They claimed no knowledge of substituted parts, but this article says differently.......

Have you hooked them up yet?

Have you hooked them up yet?

Not yet. 9-5 job M-F and grandkids on the weekends takes a lot of my time, I'm almost always dragging my feet on this stuff too. I'll probably get them going Wednesday evening......

I have some PSB T5 and B25 and a Sub Woofer that I have yet to hook up and see what they are all about. I've had them for months now.

Stereophle reviewed the original Stratus with the textile dome tweeter in 1988, the ,"New Stratus" is a revamped version with a aluminum dome tweeter but otherwise they look the same. They corrected the incorrect woofer issue long before they made your pair

Thank you Mikey !
