PSB (along with Pardigm, Energy et. al.) is a big beneficiary of Canda's National Research Council, which finances R&D; because of the government's largesse, the Canadian manufacturers can sell great products at much lower cost. If our government re-directed to the audio industry a fraction of the money they're pissing away on Chrysler or Citicorp, we'd still have a competitive industry.
I agree that the Syncrony is an outstanding speaker and a very good value; I feel the same about the Paradigm Signature. I like that the PSBs are unfussy about electronics; they sound great with just about anything they're connected to. If the Syncrony has any flaw, it's that it errs on the side of extreme neutrality. All things considered, I could live happily with these; I doubt I'd find a $15k speaker which is that much better.
