PSB 400 loudspeaker system.Examines the PSB 400, one of a new series of speakers from the Canadian designer Paul Barton. Goal to provide essential quality of PSB Stratus speakers in relatively small, inexpensive speakers; Testing conditions for speakers; Performance of PSB 400; Musical speaker....
Also, if you already had these ($8K) speakers as part of a preamp-less system, and have about $17K (which is the price of the Pass XP-32) in the budget for a system upgrade, would you be likely spend that entire sum on a preamp, or might a greater improvement be realized by sp...
The in-room response of all three speakers is shelved down a little in the midrange, with a similar rolloff below 100Hz disturbed by a small peak at 32Hz, the frequency of the lowest mode in my room. The PSBs excite this mode a little more than the KEFs and LS3/5a's, however. T...
Third, while the T2s are surely neutral as speakers go and have an overall flat response, they seem somewhat shaded towards warmth and what one might call non-aggressiveness, with a slight dip in response starting around 1–2kHz and some generosity in-room in the 100Hz region. If the Can...

Fig.9 shows the PSB Synchrony T600s' spatially averaged response in my room. (The spatial averaging (footnote 3) tends to average out the peaks and dips below 400Hz that are due to the room's resonant modes.) With the speakers' ports open (blue trace), the T600s maximally excite the...
but was otherwise innocuous on music. The original Alpha's cabinet had even stronger modes at 240Hz and 400Hz, so the current version is better in this respect. Some "pumping" of the cabinet wall can also be seen at the port tuning frequency. All things being equal, this will soften th...
the speakers' rear-facing tweeters were on when I took this measurement, but they put out so little energy that I didn't conceive they could have such an effect on the speaker's commendably flat quasi-anechoic response. And they didn't. When I repeated the measurement with the rear twee...
