PSB T600 Synchrony - impressions

Update on things. Ended up returning the M33, it was a wonderful amplifier, with amazing soundstage width, impressive detail and ease of use. However, it lacked slam, presence, or maybe “meatiness”. Even the best Class D cannot compete with the palpability of Class A/B.  
 

I ended up with a Hegel H390 and holy smokes, locked in what I’m looking for. Sparkly highs, accentuated midrange, bass control, slam and dynamism, air and extension, plus ease of roon integration. 
 

I would still still recommend a trial of the PSB as a speaker without fault. Linear, near full range, detail, mid range and low end without color or a “personality”. Seems true to the source.  Not sure I could do any better for the price. 

I purchased the PSB 600i floor standing speakers back around 2002 and ran them for about 10 years and was always impressed with their great sound for an inexpensive speaker so I am sure their upper tier line is fabulous. 

Since you mentioned an interest in the Vandersteen Treo's I have had them for a few years now and am continually impressed with how great they sound. I would highly recommend them but if in a comparison you preferred the PSB's I'd bet you won't be disappointed. They make a great speaker.

I’ve owned PSB Imagine T3 and T2 speakers. Nothing about them was cheap. I examined the crossover network and was impressed.

The former flagship T3 was a wonderful speaker—so much so that I occasionally think of scooping up a used pair.

I’d expect the new Synchrony flagship to compete nicely in the $5-10k price bracket.

PS. I loved the PSBs with a Primaluna HP integrated. Pairing them with high powered NAD products sounded good but sterile at times.

Yes PSB is owned by Lenbrook, who owns NAD and bluesound as well. 
 

I have a NAD M33 on order. Hopefully it’s a good pairing. Talking to the PSB people they said that Mr. Barton voiced the Synchrony using a variety of NAD amps, including the new Purifi models and an old NAD A/B 3020. 

PSBs relationship with NAD is like yours with in-laws.

we are a long time psb dealer the new speakers are amazing and easy to drive and attractive

Wasn't Paul Stanley the front-man for KISS?  He sure get's around ...

Ya know, I always kinda wondered about PSB being related to NAD.  Sometimes it cheaps-out on parts et cetera.  

Appreciate the review ... I will have to take a closer look!!

Yes, Paul Stanley Barton is a talented speaker designer who has been at it for decades - yet gets little attention! I'd take those Synchrony's any day over the Vandersteen's! Thank you for bringing this to attention here!
