PSB Alpha B1 information from Consumer Reports

PSB Alpha B1

Approximate retail price:

$280

Summary: These high-scoring, midsized bookshelf speakers from PSB are very smooth and fairly neutral. Bass response is very good, reproducing all but the very deepest lower-frequency notes. Midrange is slightly uneven, making some vocals sound muffled, as is treble, which makes some high notes sound bright while others sound a bit dull. Has a long (60-month) speaker warranty.
