Recommended Component 2024 – Stereophile
The Most Advanced Speaker Yet from PSB
PSB's T600 Premium Tower Speakers deliver revelatory listening experiences, with uncanny tonal accuracy, thrilling dynamics, high-impact bass, transparent midrange, pinpoint imaging, and exquisite micro-detail. Featuring an all-new driver platform, new enclosure design, amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley acoustic crossover, and integrated IsoAcoustics isolators, the Synchrony T600 is the most advanced speaker PSB has ever offered.
"Recommended Component" Honors
Stereophile honored the PSB T600 by awarding it the magazine's coveted Recommend Component status for 2024.
According to Stereophile, "PSB's Synchrony T600 stepped out of the way of the music being played, imposing almost no character on the sound other than a slightly mellow high treble and a slightly forward midrange."
"Best I've Ever Heard in My Home"
"The PSB Synchrony T600 Tower Speakers are quite simply, the best speakers I’ve ever heard in my home. While I’ve had the chance to audition some frightfully expensive speakers at shows or in specialty shops, none have left so many positive memories as these," reports Chris Eberle, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, September 19, 2022.
"PSB has literally put everything into these speakers. They’ve been designed from the ground up and no detail has been left unaddressed. From the precise drivers to the stone-like cabinet and its isolated aluminum front baffle and high-tech feet, everything here is devoted to delivering the best possible audio performance."
Advanced Drivers with Remarkable Frequency Response
The T600's 6.5" woofers and 5.25" midrange driver feature die-cast aluminum baskets, woven carbon-fiber cones, mass-loaded rubber surrounds, and an advanced motor structure that maintains constant magnetic force in the voice coil gap. The 1" titanium dome tweeter features Ferrofluid damping and a neodymium magnet.
These refinements result in wider bandwidth, higher maximum output, higher efficiency, better power handling, and reduced harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Combined with the B600's amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order acoustic crossover, these advanced drivers deliver remarkably flat frequency response, so that every sound you hear is True to Nature.
New Enclosure Helps Preserve Fine Detail
The T600's MDF enclosure has more extensive internal bracing than any speaker PSB has ever built. This minimizes cabinet resonances that can cause uneven response and blur transients. The front baffle is clad in a 5mm-thick solid aluminum plate, which suppresses 'baffle talk' that can obscure fine detail. Ten isolation cups decouple the aluminum plate from the enclosure, another measure that helps preserve fine detail.
The enclosure is divided into four chambers: one sealed chamber for the midrange driver and tweeter, and three identically tuned rear-ported chambers, one for each woofer. This breaks up standing waves inside the enclosure that could otherwise cause uneven response and distortion.
At the base of each T600 Tower are four outrigger stabilizers with custom isolators based on IsoAcoustics' award-winning Gaia II isolators. These prevent mechanical energy produced by the drivers and cabinet from being reflected back into the enclosure. The result is improved micro-detail, clearer transients, a wider soundstage, and more precise imaging.
Smooth, Powerful Bass
The T600's transitional-array design, with three woofers that cover progressively narrower frequency bands, produces smoother bass response. It randomizes the floor bounce, wherein reflections of low-frequency waves from the floor interfere with direct radiation of the woofers.
Each T600 tower comes with two port plugs that can be inserted into the bass-reflex ports at the back. This lets you tailor bass output to suit your listening environment. The result is bass that is deep and visceral, yet taut and tuneful, and does not overload the room.
A Feast for the Eyes
The Synchrony T600 is available in two gorgeous furniture-grade finishes: Satin Walnut Veneer and High Gloss Piano Black. Acoustically transparent, magnetically attached grilles enhance the T600's visual appeal. With design elements such as a tastefully etched Synchrony logo on the top edge of the baffle, PSB's Synchrony T600 Towers will fit gracefully into any décor.
