Since they're more & more PSB speakers owner in LYN, I am opening up a thread for the PSB Speaker discussion here.

I have the Alpha T1 & C1, paired with Yamaha RX-V863 & Velodyne CHT-12R.

Tested the Speaker with a Jazz CD sampler (2 channel - Pure direct), I must say the T1 is a very solid performer with such low price. The mid & high is very good but you'll need a good sub to get the good low kicking the butt.

Especially if you are into strings performances, the sound are so real and natural, you can hear the vibration of the strings like they're being perform 1 feet away from you. It's like "seeing" the music....not only hearing.

The most important thing is, it's very easy to drive the speaker, you don't need a high power amp to drive it.

Now I would wonder how the higher end model like Image etc. will sound.....

Sorry, not a PSB owner. How do you keep the sub active with Pure Direct mode?

The image B25 projection of sound is not as full compared to the alpha T1, but If you like clean clear sound .. i think the image with the same price will be a winner, but for HT with that budget the T1 will be way better ...

Lets wait for arremies post!
I don't own a PSB yet but .. might or might not .. ermm see how kuat the poison is here ..

I audited Image 15 before.The sound is much much better then Alpha B1.This my own preference.I heard alot said NAD315BEE + Alpha B1 is quite good but i didnt feel any special at all.Only feel nice when Image B15 combined.The sound is like more out especially the vocal.It using more tweeter power.And the intrument sound is out of the speaker.

I have Image C40 and a pair of B1 paired with Onkyo 705. I must said the B1 did a great job as a surround compared to my old cheapo JBL real spk thumbup.gif .

Will pay A&L Amcorp a visit soon. It seems that the prices there are lower compared to the Sg Wang branch. Saw the RM2k pricetag at the Sg Wang branch hmm.gif

rclxms.gif I'm a new and proud owner of PSB Speakers and thanks for making this thread mpyw.... thumbup.gif

I have bought a pair of Image T55 that connected to Onkyo 605, the main purpose are for games and movies.
I've decided to bought the T55 after auditioned many floorstanding speakers such as Polk Audio, AE Neo3, Wharfy Diamond and some others....but then, after auditioned the T55, I knew this is the one because the sound it produce is clear and the bass is powerful and accurate. icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm happy with my new purchase... thumbup.gif

my PSB Alpha B. the last ones to be made in canada. for the distance i am seated and the size of the room. it offers absolute value for money. namely because i can't fit floorstanders there, and any speakers which is more expensive won't benefit me significantly due to the lack of space and lousy positioning. i name thy PSB.. winnar!

but i still need a sub for movies... doh.gif

Well...all has been said so I don't have anything else to add tongue.gif

So I just wanted to say one thing, if you have limited budget or just want something good without breaking your bank or maybe you don't want to spend so much on speakers...get Alpha series thumbup.gif you won't regret....and don't listen to rx330 laugh.gif laugh.gif
