PSB Subsonic 6 issue
So a few years back I had to change my PSB sub transformer as I moved from the US to Ireland. I replaced the transformer with a toroidal one and all was working perfectly for a few years. A few days ago I have very little output next to zero... When I put the volume up, a rapid noise occurs, and... -
Vintage PSB Speakers
All, OK, I have a mystery situation. I picked up some old, HEAVY PSB tower speakers a while back--just got around to testing them, they sound great. BUT, there are almost no identifying marks re: what model they might be. I did read somewhere that the earliest models of PSB speakers were often... -

Beginner ferrofluid question.
Alright so I got some PSB image 4t towers used and noticed right off the bat that they sounded terrible contrary to all the fantastic reviews. I ended up tracing the issue to the tweeters.

Solid state amps all sound the same?
I never believed all SS amps sounded the same, after all I compared the amp section in my receiver vs that of a separ!ate amp and the difference was night and day. Over the years I've acquired a few "mid-fi" amps and those all sounded the same with both my PSB IMage t6s and my Paradigm studio 20...- McFixIt

PSB Strauss Golds are absolute units!
Well, I broke my long “no more buying stuff” streak today. PSB Stratus Golds. Just massive bastards! Per pound, they were the best value of my audio life. The picture doesn’t give nearly enough scale, so you should know that’s a 120” screen and the 2 subs are 12” with spikes in a big enclosure... -

Psb stratus gold i vs kef ls50
I know this is oranges vs apples, but $1000 Canadian is my budget and these are the two speakers I've had my eyes on. I suppose if I got the kefs, I would probably have to spring for a sub at some point, but that's a worry for another time. My question is, how do they compare in terms of sound... -

I'm looking at maybe purchasing a set of PSB Image 2Bs for a small system (20 WPC) I have at my cabin. From what I've read, they were decent speakers for the money. I don't intend to use a sub with them. I'm wondering if anyone here has tweaked/modified a set of these, what they did and what... -
