Strength:
Design and Performance
Weakness:
None in relation to comparable speakers in the price range This is a great set of speakers. I listened to these in the store and I was sold immediately. For those who say there is not enough bass, try bi-wiring. I listened to these speakers for the first week without bi-wiring. As soon as I bi-wired them I was astonished. It made a great set of speakers even better and significantly increased the bass response (I even turned off the bass extension on my receiver, it was too much bass with it on for my tastes). If you don't have these speakers bi-wired you're missing out. You can't go wrong here at this price. Similar Products Used: Image 3LR |

Strength:
Slim design
Weakness:
None found This speaker simply sounds great. I listeded to several models from Paradigm and Mirage lines. Luckily I found one dealer here in Houston that had the Image series on the floor. It was the model 5T, but the sound was just great. The 4T fit the decor of my living room better than the 5T, and it sounded just the same. Purchased from Sound City and paid around $450 for the pair delivered. Similar Products Used: Mirage & Paradigm |

Strength:
Bass, Mid, High, Size, Value
Weakness:
NONE Smooth, accurate reproduction with great imaging. After extensive comparison and auditioning between the Image 1b's and Energy and Paradigm I ordered the 1B's. When I went to pick them up, I listened to the 4T's again and was totally blown away and ended buying them instead for the front instead of going 1B's all the way around. Amazing clarity playing anything from Classical to Santana. Solid, warm and rich bass response on both music and DVD's. Judging by some of the other reviews, they must be really accurate in indicating how bad cheap and poor receivers are, and bad room acoustics! Similar Products Used: Energy e:xl, Paradigm |

Strength:
Delivers great sound for such a small speaker. Very tight bass. Very surprised at how well performs for the money.
Weakness:
none These speakers can definetly be had fir a great buy. They sound great and the dealer I bought them from was definetly well knowledged. As every enthusiast does though would now liked to have bought 6to or 7t due to the fact that their bigger and better yet. But at the time the budget was tight. Similar Products Used: Bose |

Strength:
Very Stylish looks, great value, dynamic sound & great imaging, natural and warm highs, bi-amp/bi-amp compatable
Weakness:
Lacks some bass; however, this is due to cabinet design and relatively small woofers 5 1/4. If more bass is required try the Image 5T, 6T, or the awesome Image 7T The best speaker in it's price range. I tested various speakers in this price line and the Image 4T's come out on top. They are ideally suited for home theatre applications. As for music, they do project a high quality sound feild; however, for those people who are seeking more bass a subwoofer is required. I have been extremely happy with my PSB's and I intend to purchase the matching 1b's shortly. Similar Products Used: Energy E:XL series, Mission, Bose, NHT, Polk Audio, and Nuance |

Strength:
capable of room-filling majesty, disciplined bass, comforting and non-threatening sound, revealing but also accomodating, presents music in its natural wonder. somewhat laid-back sound but this is another aspect to appreciate better as time goes on. these speakers disappear when you get used to them.
Weakness:
emits a slight hissing when the power is on but sound is turned off, but this could be a problem with other components. also a bit bright and directional at first, but this is resolved after adjusting to their character. like most so-called audiophile grade speakers, the sound doesn't grab you by the throat (or ears) and beat you into submission right away like say a bose or polk system might do at your local electronics supermarket.

Strength:
clear punchy mid bass, realistic highs (leaning toward bright), Bass was pleanty. Overall a flat frequency response!
Weakness:
Can be too bright if other bright products are upstream. I have enjoyed these speakers for 5 months and can give a hearty recomendation to those of you wanting to break out of the Polk, Infinity, Bose, ect. bracket. Similar Products Used: PSB Image 3LR, Energy, NHT 1.5., Tannoy R3 |

Strength:
Imaging,Mids,Treble,Deep Bass
Weakness:
A wee bit forward,but this can provide a "palpable" sound A wonderful surprise for the money. I wanted smaller speakers for my living room,inexpensive speakers and speakers that could eventually be used for home theatre. I got all three of my wishes plus a speaker that is audiophile quality.
