Massive PSB Image 9C 2-Way Centre Channel Speaker, Canada

Massive PSB Image 9C Large 2-Way MTM Centre Channel Speaker, Canada

Made in Canada. A very-good-condition PSB Image 9C — the flagship centre-channel speaker of PSB’s Image line, and one of the largest, most capable dedicated centre speakers we routinely see come through Radique Audio.

The Image 9C is a substantial 2-way MTM (D’Appolito-style) centre-channel design: dual 6.5-inch woofers flanking a 1-inch aluminum-dome ferrofluid-cooled tweeter, with dual 2-inch flared flow-ports for extended low-frequency response. The MTM driver arrangement delivers strong vertical pattern control and excellent forward dispersion, keeping dialogue clear and natural across a wide listening area — essential for any room where seats are spread across more than one couch. The dual 6.5-inch woofers and dual flow-ports give the 9C genuine bass extension and dynamic headroom, allowing it to keep pace with full-range floorstanding mains rather than collapsing under the weight of a demanding film soundtrack.

PSB’s Image-series voicing — developed by founder Paul Barton at Canada’s National Research Council in Ottawa — delivers the natural, neutral, room-friendly tonal balance that has been PSB’s signature for decades. Dialogue intelligibility is exceptional, on-screen voices have body and presence rather than the thin, nasal quality that plagues smaller centres, and the 9C blends seamlessly with PSB’s matching Image-series mains as well as with a wide range of other neutrally voiced speaker brands.

Build quality is genuinely substantial: a heavily braced cabinet, vinyl wood-grain finish, removable grille, and good-quality 5-way binding posts suitable for banana plugs, spades, or bare wire. At 33 pounds and nearly 27 inches wide, the 9C demands a proper, sturdy platform — but the payoff is the kind of effortless centre-channel performance that smaller centres simply cannot match.

The 92 dB sensitivity rating means the 9C plays effortlessly loud with even modest amplifier power, and the 175-watt power handling gives you generous headroom for reference-level movie playback in larger rooms. Power handling: 10–175 watts; nominal impedance 8 ohms (6 ohms minimum).

This particular unit is in very good cosmetic condition with the typical light handling marks consistent with careful use and no significant blemishes to the cabinet or grille.
