For Forum members, PSB might not have the cache that Polk does, but this Canadian company has also made some excellent speakers. The pics below are of the speaker that is not quite as nice as the other....but they are very similar.
I bought the PSB 300's new in 1994. The salesman said the PSB would sound as good as or better than Polk 10B's. While I can't totally agree, for a true bookshelf speaker, they are awesome.
The cabs on these are probably a 7+ with the drivers being in excellent condition. One grill has some snags, the other is in good condition. One cab is missing 2 of the 4 pins for the grill and it is currently held on with double stick tape (not duct tape). I have been unable to get the remaining pieces of the pegs out of the holes. (C- in shop)
I just did a comparison of all of my smaller speakers, and I would put the PSB's between the 5 jr's and the 5 Series II. The cabs are wood veneer and very solid...quite weighty for their size....I am guessing 12 inches high. They have a rear port (no baffle that I recall)
These honestly could be used for surrounds (unless you like heavy effects back there) or even a center....but nice for second bedroom or office rig.
Audiogon lists them used for $170, and a Canuck ad lists them at $150.
$85 picked up....$115 shipped to CONUS. I use FedEX, Paypal preferred, buyer pays fees. Guaranteed not to be DOA; anything else, buyer can return at his expense within 14 days for a refund.
