PSB Synchrony T600 Tower Speaker Preview

See the complete review for the PSB Synchrony T600 Tower Speaker.

PSB celebrates its 50th Anniversary with an all-new Synchrony line that includes the T600 Tower Speaker I’ve just received for review. It’s a ground-up design that packs all of Paul Barton’s vast experience into a single product.

The PSB Synchrony T600 Tower Speaker takes everything Paul Barton has learned over 50 years as a speaker designer and packs it into a single product. With carbon fiber drivers, a five-way transitional array design, a milled aluminum faceplate, and special isolator feet from ISO Acoustics, it takes the Canadian sound to a whole new level.

I’ve already unpacked the T600s, and they are impressive. The fit and finish are on par with any high-end speaker I’ve encountered, many of which cost a lot more than $8,999 a pair. The ISO Acoustics feet come in their own box and thread into a large metal plate at the base of each cabinet. They have large fittings that can be used to level the speakers. I also found two port plugs for each speaker. The cabinets have three ports in the back, one for each woofer chamber. The midrange and tweeter are in their own chamber at the top.

I set them up at the front of my theater, toed in, and 16 inches from the wall. I thought I might need the plugs, but I quickly found that bass is so well controlled, that they were unnecessary. I’m playing them in now using an Emotiva XPA-5 power amp and an Anthem AVM-70 preamp/processor. So far, they’re shaping up to be the most musical speakers I’ve heard in my home. This is going to be a fun review. Watch this space for my full report and listening notes.

Chris Eberle

Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida. As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.
