PSB Alpha Intro LR Compact Bookshelf Speakers in Black Ash

Our smallest PSB speakers, with drivers personally designed by Paul Barton, have received lots of great reviews. It’s still not often that you find an aluminum dome tweeter at this price, and here it’s mated with a 3 1/2″ poly-coned woofer/midrange, and excellent quality PSB 5-Way bindings, all wrapped up in an attractive black ash wood-grained finish.

The enclosures are MDF, with injection moulded front and back panels and a stylish perforated aluminum grille. Their mounting options are several: they can be screwed onto brackets, hung from screws or nails with slots provided on the rear panel, or mounted on telescoping stands, allowing optimum height adjustment (we have several pairs of these available to choose from).

Andrew Marshall, reviewer for Audio Ideas Guide, wrote: “The bottom line is that the PSB Alpha Intro’s pretty much kill the competition in their price range and above. Both the LR and CLR could be the cornerstones (literally) of a really good home theatre system, the latter offering greater dynamics all around, while both, in 5s, provide near perfect timbral matching. They’re both handsome, able to hide in shelves or hang on walls, and, finally, they are that audiophile oxymoron, compact home theatre speakers that deliver true high fidelity sound quality.”
