Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyFort Hamilton, NY United States Post Number: 1521 Registered: Oct-04 | So the Synchony Series is one down from the top? |
|
Silver Member Username: HawkbillyNova Scotia Canada Post Number: 111 Registered: Jul-07 | The Synchony One's are $4500/pr. They better be quite the speaker at that price, as there are some heavy hitters in that ball park. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 9277 Registered: Dec-04 | Nice with Mac 7300's in mono. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 870 Registered: May-06 | Might be nice with one 7300 too, cheaper than newer MAC 300+ wpc amps, and cheaper than 2 7300s. |

Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 403 Registered: Feb-07 | I see this line is running at 4 ohms. Isn't that going to make them a little on some amps? |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 9302 Registered: Dec-04 | David, PSB has been doing low inpedenace for a long while. Look a little further into these. Each driver rolls off at a seperate frequency, meaning each driver has its own Xo. That's 4 in each speaker. Add to that the tendency for Paul Barton to build -phase shift into each one, and you get a big honkin XO series, with dozens of parts involved, all working into 4th order operation at differing Hz rolloff. How BIG a SS amp do you think they need? I drove the Stratus Silvers with Classe 300 amp last weekend, and even that amp worked at it a bit. Add another low driver and Xo...well...If you can't get 90 Db from 4 drivers, somebody is a little too attached to traditional company values. |

Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 405 Registered: Feb-07 | Hmmmm. I have rather old pair of PSB Alpha bookshelfs. Are these running at low impedance too? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 9305 Registered: Dec-04 | The Alphas that I ran were 6ohm and didn't go much lower. |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 407 Registered: Feb-07 | My Alpha's are a really beaten up pair that still sound great... they can keep up with some of my floorstanders. Anyway, wouldn't mind checking out the new line. Always been a fan of PSB. |

Gold Member Username: T_bomb25Dayton, Ohio United States Post Number: 1581 Registered: Jun-05 | Just got "The Absolute Sound" and they reviewed the 2 smaller speakers in this line.TAS is a little less about advertisement than Stereophile so I'll read it when i get a chance and see what they say about these fine looking speakers. |

Gold Member Username: T_bomb25Dayton, Ohio United States Post Number: 1588 Registered: Jun-05 | The small floostander apears to be absolute animals in the bass,from what TAS says the whole line seems like its really good,Neil Grader is 1 of the more honest reviewers out there I've always agreed with most of his work,which is way better than i can say for most of the other salesman want to be reviewers,overall a very good honest review! |
