PSB Alpha P5

It’s known for having clear-sounding mids and highs, good imaging, being slightly on the brighter side of neutral, and having midbass that can get quite boomy if you don’t give them enough distance from the back wall. They don’t have much low bass extension (significantly less than the larger Q350). If you are considering those and you’re in the US, I would also advise that you consider the Emotiva B1+, the Q’s you mentioned, the Elac B5.2, the PSB Alpha P5, the Jamo C93 II, and the Wharfedale Diamond 225 (while they’re still available) as options.

These are serious speakers - nice quality construction. They are presentable for being in open view in a classy room, and totally do the job for sound. More than you'll need for indoors, for sure. They're pretty big - about a foot tall by maybe 9" deep and 6" across the front, and weigh at least 10l...

The PSB P5 would not normally work in that range but there is an authorized refurb dealer that has them for just right now and a steal in my opinion. PS I own the Paradigms and the P5s little brother P3.

I have the Alpha P5s hooked up to my Yamaha RX-S600 Receiver (a slim receiver as I want to minimize the tech presence where I keep my bookshelves), which I was previously using with a pair of older Polk RTi6 bookshelves which I can't help but compare the new P5s to but I'll try not to dwell on it. N...

$230 vs $700, then I would rather spend less money." Also, I'm most intrigued by the positive reviews I've heard about the PSB Alpha P5, especially for it's current price, as well as the KEF Q150 for it's soundstage.

I have tested the PSB Alpha P3 as well as this PSB Alpha P5 set of speakers. What I got was two really great pairs of speakers. The P3's are on my bedroom shelf rounding off the look of my TV. These P5's are on the shelf on the wall behind me in the living room. No, it’s not for the TV sound because...

Always the KEF Q150 on a sale!

Also, check into some PSB stuff, they like Polk, have value speakers throughout their lineup.

Like the PSB Alpha P3

WHAT I LIKE: - I like the minimalist design and appearance. I understand some people like their electronics and sound systems to look fancy, but I like mine to be minimal and inconspicuous in design. So, this one is perfect for my taste. The black ash color scheme looks decent, and the speaker doesn...

Because the P3 Alpha and P5 Alpha are very similar, I'm going to note the differences and then post my original P3 review. These ones are similar to the P3, but have a larger woofer, wider power range and can play music louder. From a price to performance point, I wouldn't recommend these over the P...
