PSB Compact Bookshelf Speakers Intro LR
$110.00
A 3/4-inch aluminium dome with ferrofluid over a 3.5-inch polypropylene cone in a sealed two-litre box, crossed at 3kHz — an aluminium tweeter was not common at this price. 100Hz to 21kHz, 87dB, 6 ohms, 15 to 80 watts. Video shielded, with a keyhole slot and a 1/4-20 threaded insert, so they take a shelf, a wall or a stand. Drivers by Paul Barton.

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 blonde 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.”

Mission 731 Bookshelf — Made in England, Inverted Driver Design
Two things to tell you: a ding on the top side edge of one cabinet, and third-party binding posts a previous owner fitted to one speaker. Otherwise good — and the design is the interesting part, since Mission's inverted geometry puts the tweeter below the woofer to bring the two into step at seated ear height. Made in England.
Bowers & Wilkins WM2 Outdoor Speakers, Pearl White, w/ Brackets
On an outdoor speaker the condition is the whole story — these are almost never retired for how they sound, but for sun turning a white cabinet chalky and yellow, freeze-thaw working at the seams, and grilles blooming with rust. Pearl White shows all of it more plainly than black would, and this pair grades Very Good, factory wall brackets included. B&W did not design a weatherproof box and then find a driver to fit it either: a 130 mm woven fibreglass cone crossed at 3.5 kHz to a 25 mm dome, the same material philosophy as their indoor speakers.
Castle Knight 1 Bookshelf Speakers — Real Wood Cherry, Pair
From a Yorkshire company that spent forty years being known for its cabinets above all else. The cherry veneer is deep-figured real timber, book-matched across the two cabinets so the grain mirrors when they are set up together, then sealed and waxed by hand over more than five days. Underneath is an honest two-way bass-reflex with a 130 mm woven natural-fibre bass/mid driver and five-way binding posts. Very Good condition.
PSB Alpha A/V Shielded Bookshelf Speakers — 6.5″ Woofer, Canada
The final 6.5-inch version of the speaker that made PSB's name — the 1998 Alpha A/V, with the upgraded tweeter, crossover and banana-plug terminals, and magnetic shielding so it can sit right beside a screen. Ninety decibels sensitive, so a modest receiver drives them well. Black ash, graded Very Good, bench-tested here. Pair.
