Well, give it more than 15 minutes.
It always amazes me how permitting access to the anechoic chamber at the NRC contributed to the creation of speaker companies and permitted many skilled engineers access to the facilities at the same time. The spin offs have endured for decades. Good policy for sure. There should be more of this sort of organized sharing of resources leading to better economics and results.I've liked the couple of PSB speakers I've heard, and they seem to almost universally measure well at reasonable prices. They also seem to consistently follow the design ideals we follow here; PSB's founder is friends with Dr Toole, who he met when Toole was working at the NRC. See here.
Their top speaker the Imagine T3 probably sounds good, but somehow the 3 7inch woofers lined up below the midrange and tweeter just don't look that innovative.
PSB Alpha B have been my primary desktop speakers for the past 10+ years. I love them in nearfield application since they aren't bright. For a short while I used them as main L/R speakers in a home theater setup, and they worked there very well also.
No longer made. I suppose Alpha P5 would be a comparable offering from PSB's current portfolio.
