The PSB's are a better sounding speaker regardless of the music.

I have the NAD/PSB combination. Works well for me.

PSB hands down.

I have an ancient pair of PSB Alphas (their entry level el-cheapo bookshelves) that are all beat to hell and they blow the doors off of many much more expensive speakers I've owned.

I've owned Polk too.

I agree with the guys. PSB all day long. PSB and NAD are both owned by Lenbrook and are probably the best match for each other as well. Better speaker + better synergy = Buy the PSB speakers.

Don't get me started on Polk speakers.....

I did not know that Polk Audio speakers are that bad.

Almost bought Polk Audio DSW2000 subwoofer.
