Description

A timeless two-way bookshelf speaker with a 5. 25 woofer the P5 in the new Alpha Series allows you to transform your system with pristine sound. Featuring a refined bass reflex cabinet and port tube first developed for the original Alpha speaker the Alpha P5 creates a pure and natural soundstage by utilizing the latest and most advanced driver technologies and magnet structures. The P5 was perfectly tuned inside the anechoic chamber of Canadas acoustic research facilities to produce a perfectly flat frequency response that lets you enjoy the subtleties of your music and movies with lifelike detail. Anodized aluminium tweeter with waveguide The P5 uses a 0. 75 black anodized aluminium dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver layered sound with detail and clarity. Unlike lesser designs at this price all the new Alpha Series tweeters employ ferrofluid cooling to prevent dynamic compression and a neodymium magnet for high sensitivity. The tweeters front waveguide and its unique placement below the woofer work together to smooth the response at the crossover and perfect on and off-axis performance. Perfectly matched bass When paired with the Alpha Series newly designed tweeter the P5s custom 5. 25 woofer provides remarkable low-frequency response and the highest speaker efficiency in its class. The woofer is constructed from a special textured polypropylene compound that minimizes cone breakup and lowers distortion at full excursion. Its also supported with dual layer voice coils and a bass reflex design that uses the rear-firing port tube to control the bass response down to room-shaking levels. Smooth sound reproduction The Alpha Series new crossover exceeds speaker standards with a special custom design that does more than direct low and high frequencies to the individual drivers-it delivers the tightest control and the flattest frequency response.

Great Value, Good Balanced Sound.
Color: Walnut
Build Quality, In my opinion build quality is on par with many five hundred dollars speakers in terms of quality components, I have not seen any speakers in this price range that comes with acoustically transparent perforated metal magnetic grill. Highs are very clean detail sound with good extension without overly forward or laidback, separation between notes are a bit airy, good sound dispersion. Midrange is almost perfect, this is the best you can get at this price, everything sound as close as possible to source, naturally balance sound with accurate tone. Bass performance is the star of overall musical sound signature because I get pretty well extended low frequency response from this mini monitor speakers but to get the maximum bass performance speakers without a sub woofer, should not be be more than 6ft apart with just a tad toe-in. PSB Alpha P5's balanced sound signature makes it very easy to pair with pretty much any kind of amplifiers. Great Value, Good Balanced Sound, Highly Recommended! ... show more

Best all round elegance and experience
Color: Black Ash
One of the best book shelf speakers all round. Sounds large even in a spacious location. Very crisp sound without being shrill in the high range. Unless you need thump-in base for a dance event, you can do without a sub woofer if fed from a good amp. Very elegant finish and dimensions. Goes well with most neutral decor without being either obtrusive or obscure. Very Inexpensive for the quality, At 89db, fairly efficient. Can drive much higher volumes than normal selection. Specs don’t speak for overall acoustic experience. Beats more expensive brands by a mile for normal use as front speakers. Comes with small feet for insulation as well. ... show more

I Like Them
Color: Walnut
Nice speaker. First I put them on 25 inch stands, but much better on 34 inch high and five feet apart. Let your own ears decide what sounds best.

Very Nice For The Price.
Color: Black Ash
These make my large, older bookshelf sound old on the higher tweeter to the mid-area. The base sounds good, but get a sub if you need that deeper sound. They are currently being used as my side surround speakers and fit well with the four P3 speakers I'm using for height-atmos effects.

Amazing speakers
Color: Black Ash
These speakers are really incredible. I used a bluesound power-node to power them. Using in my living room to replace a Samsung sound bar and subwoffer, and it's mind blowing how great they sound. The sound quality is truly impressive, I thought I would need to add a subwoffer but it's not necessary. I Highly recommend these speakers, especially when paired with a quality source to power them. ... show more

Not at this price……
Color: Black Ash
I saw the great reviews and decided to try them. Not sure why they have so many great reviews? DEFINITELY not sure why these are $400. The quality of the cabinet looks and feels cheap. If you knock on the cabinet, it very lively. The grills are ummmm…well…..meh. They are magnetic but they don’t line up when you place them on. You have to make them even and square. They are bright. Sometimes painful. The low end is just there. Nothing special. Nothing horrible. The $1 terminal cup really adds som class to this. I would honestly MAYBE spend like $150 ish on a pair of these. In case your wondering or saying but hey dude, you probably have a junk amp or receiver and that’s why these sound this way….. no, no I don’t. They were used with a NAD T758 V3i. I have a pair of Emotiva B1+ that blow these away in every aspect. Those , brand new were $270 for the pair. There’s my 2 cents. Do with it what you will. ... show more

Great sound!! Great build quality! Easy placement!
Color: Black Ash
Pros: Build is solid with high quality vinyl wrap. Small speaker BIG sound with plenty of bass. Tight and controlled low end and midrange. Much fuller richer sound and larger sound stage than similar sized Klipsch models. Detailed highs with no fatigue. Can be placed close to a wall. Works for near field listening. Cons: Grills are metal mesh with sharp edges. Update: 10/14/2020 I still own, use, and love these speakers. A change from a Teac HiFi AV receiver to a BasX A-100 made a profound difference in sound and extension. These little speakers ROCK! This will be my end-game for years to come. ... show more

Very good bang for the buck.
Color: Black Ash
I use these for a small stereo in my home office. They are powered by an NAD 3020. They sound quite good for their size. They have the limitations all speakers this size have, but they work well, and they are a good value. As a point of reference, my favorite speakers are Vandersteen 5 Carbons.
