PSB releases yet another series of speakers

called synchrony which is slotted very close in price to their premium platinum series of speakers. They look gorgeous. http://www.psbspeakers.com/series/16

Those look nice; too bad is so dang hard to find them in my area. I tried my hardest to audition the Image series but had no luck.

Is it a lack of dealers

or just the dealers you have don't stock them? Have you tried contacting PSB to see if there are any new dealers near your location?

I dont care now but back when I was auditioning I tried eveything. PSP gave me 2 dealer's names in my area but neither of them had the PSPs in-stock and would only order them if I paid for them....no thanks...

Someone should fire off an email to them about their specs.
It seems that their speakers are 4 Ohms, yet they claims 1W(2.83V), etc.
Well, if they use 2.83V for sensitivity, that is 2W signal on a 4 Ohm speaker.

The specs also claim 4 Ohm nominal and 4 Ohm minimum. Is that even possible? There are many 8 Ohm nominal speakers that dip to 2-3 Ohms minimum so that must be a typo.

They look great and I'd bet they sound good, but 4 Ohm nominal is tough for a typical receiver.

Yep, they would be a tough load to drive

My poor Panny would be breaking out in a sweat if connected the PSBs to it.

Oh, yes, PSBs builds very good speakers. Tom Nousaine has one that was measured at NRC chambers with .5dB linearity for a good part of the spectrum. But, they do need a very good amp, especially if they have the spec-ed sensitivity with 2W. Better get at least a 200W capable into 4 Ohms if not more.

I frequent a local PSB dealer for other reasons and haven't seen them hooked up for almost a year. That's not to say they haven't been, just odd.

The dealer carries Magnepan, Triangle', PSB, Sonus Faber and Usher from what I have seen.
