What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- PSB's loudspeaker designs, refined at Canada's National Research Council for 50 years, emphasize wide bandwidth, low distortion, and broad, even dispersion.
- The brand offers exceptional value by using lessons learned from flagship Synchrony lines in more affordable speakers, often outperforming competitors at similar price points.
- Unlike many brands, PSB resists the urge to design cost-no-object loudspeakers, remaining committed to creating high-end audio components that people can afford.
- They have developed their own Amplitude Perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover, featuring high-voltage poly film capacitors and oxygen-free interconnect wire for precise driver control.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Nearly everything I played on the T800 was akin to experiencing my music for the first time again—that is, once I completed their break in and found the proper setup. The sound is dynamic, instruments are scaled well, the soundstage extends well outside the boundaries of my listening space, and the bass completely pressurizes my 3,500-plus cubic-foot listening space." (https://futureaudiophile.com/psb-speakers-synchrony-t800-loudspeakers-reviewed)
- "I am going to make the overly bold statement that the PSB Speakers T800 is all the loudspeaker any audiophile likely ever needs, at any price, in just about any sized listening space. There is a value to the T800 that is in sync with the very aspects of the late Stratus Goldi loudspeakers that placed them on my greatest loudspeakers of all-time list, only the T800s have been refined by today's modern engineering practices." (https://futureaudiophile.com/psb-speakers-synchrony-t800-loudspeakers-reviewed)
- "We would rate these new PSB Synchrony T800 loudspeakers as being amongst the very best-sounding we have ever heard, irrespective of price." (https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/psb-synchrony-t800)
- "Once you're up and running, the most apparent, and frankly astonishing, trait of the Alpha IQ's performance is just how full and powerful they are considering their diminutive profile. That all starts with the bass." (https://www.wired.com/review/psb-alpha-iq)
