Did anybody else notice this about PSB Speakers?


I couldn't help noticing that 6 PSB speakers were selected in TAS's Editor's Choice issue this Fall and 4 were also selected as Stereophile Recommended Components. It's not like these two magazines like to agree about things very often. I am pretty sure no other vendor had 6 Editor's Choices in that issue for any sort of component.

One speaker selected only by Stereophile was the $5K PSB Synchrony One as Class A, Limited Extreme LF, right in there with a dozen or more very highly regarded $16K loudspeakers.

Also note that neither magazine has even reviewed PSB's new Platinum line, which is a cut above their Synchrony series and not really that much more expensive.

If I wanted a linear room-filling monster for a large area without breaking the bank, I'd have to look at a Synchrony One and a Platinum T8 tower. But let's not forget that their $279/pr Alpha B1 has owned the entry-level category for decades as well.

Thoughts? Feelings? Opinions?

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation w/PSB, nor do I own any, but I'm very impressed with them.

I Have to say that PSB speakers are really well designed and those accolardes are truly deserved.In fact I prefers the synchrony 1 to Magico mini anyday;more coherence, more musical and certainly more affordables...

I have helped many friends with limited budget built their systems and with almost all of them ,centered around PSB speakers.

My only concern is that ,their quility might suffer after moving most of their productions to China.
