This is a buyer’s market for this type of PSB center-channel, and A$160 looks like a good buy rather than an ambitious ask. Comparable used listings for the Image C4 commonly land around A$135–A$245 in other markets, with asking prices like A$199 and A$245 showing up on used listings, so A$160 sits comfortably on the value side of fair.
The C4 is a well-regarded, easy-to-match center: PSB’s Image line is known for clear dialogue, balanced tonality, and solid integration with the rest of a home-theater setup. In excellent condition, this is especially appealing if the grille is included and the drivers are clean, because a tidy C4 can still anchor a system very effectively for not much money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PSB Speakers traces its roots to 1972 in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada, where classically trained violinist and self-taught acoustics engineer Paul Barton launched the company with two school friends, pooling savings for a modest factory. Named after Paul and his high-school sweetheart Sue Barton—who later became his wife—the brand embodied Barton's early passion for hi-fi, honed through part-time work building speaker kits at a local shop and studies at the University of Waterloo. A pivotal collaboration with National Research Council psychoacoustician Dr. Floyd Toole in 1974 established PSB's rigorous testing in anechoic chambers and double-blind listening rooms, shaping its signature "Canadian Sound" of truthful, natural reproduction.
The company focuses squarely on loudspeakers, spanning entry-level Alpha models to high-end Platinum series, alongside home theater systems, in-ceiling CustomSound options, and expansions into headphones, portable Bluetooth speakers, and subwoofers. Acquired by the Lenbrook Group in 1985—which also owns NAD Electronics—PSB gained global distribution, now reaching over 70 countries while maintaining Barton as chief designer. This heritage of psychoacoustics research ensures products prioritize flat frequency response and musical accuracy over hype.
PSB holds a strong mid-to-high-end position among discerning audiophiles, revered for value-driven performance that rivals pricier rivals without gimmicks. Its scientific foundation and "true-to-nature" ethos earn consistent praise, cementing a reputation as a Canadian benchmark in a crowded market, distributed through premium dealers worldwide.
