Traded in a Blackberry Torch for a pair of original PSB Alphas

[3db]

The Alphas will be replacing a pair of el-cheapo Technics speakers that are my main speakers in my second system. This second system was my first forray into HT at least 10+ years ago. The Technics were used as surround speakers. I'll sell them in a yard sale. My second system now is a 2.1 with a pair of Alphas and a PSB Subsonic 5 being driven my a Technics AVR which predates HDMI

That should be the one where the grills are not removable - and a cardboard
paper port. They have a first order crossover, with a 1/2 inch thick square cut
block of fiberglass at the bottom of the cabinet for dampening. The tweeter is
a 1/2 inch polydome and a 6-1/2 woofer.

They are nice sounding speakers for their time - the bass does not go real low
and the woofer can become stressed and burp - all in all, a nice pair of speakers
that were better than the B&M speakers, found at Circuit City and Best Buy.

A big step up over the Technics - Enjoy

Yep, that's them. Once the Christmas decorations come down, these will be moved into place. Big step over the Technics? U ain't kidding.

If you know any more takers for Blackberries let me know, I have tons including one jewel of the royal Canadian crown - Bold 9900

Some of the Christmas decorations got removed and I was able to swap out the Technics for the Alphas. Placement is far from optimal but the sound improvement is leaps and bonds better. I get a better integration between speakers and sub. Pics to follow in a day or two.

I have a feeling you won't be sated until you eventually own the Synchrony One, will you?

In the mean time, your goal is to convert all home speakers to the PSB family.

Yep, the upgrades never end until you conquer the Synchrony One.

That unfortunately is far outside my wife's budget. That won't happen in my life time.

Oh, sorry.

I think your speakers sound just as great anyway.

There are other things to spend money on besides home theater.

I would not have spent all that money on HT if I went back in time.
