The Absolute Sound - Editor's Choice Awards
At this point no one should be surprised at what this Canadian
speaker company can do in the lower-price range. Even so, the
performance of this econo-sub is semi-unbelievable. Extension, dynamic
slam, and good musicality from this 10" bass-reflex design make it the
perfect match for misers with the Midas touch. Neil Gader TPV Issue 48,
and CM, TPV, Issue 69
Yet another "how does he do it?" loudspeaker from the prolific mind
of Paul Barton. The new, more curvaceous Alpha combines mind-bending
dynamics and rich mids in a speaker barely a foot tall. Even the midbass
has power and pitch definition rare in this modest price range. Neil
Gader, Issue 170
Think Imagine T Minus a midbass driver and a floorstanding enclosure.
There's the same voice in the expressive midrange and treble and, with
only minor exceptions, the same superb balance. The B can't quite quite
chew on bass lines like the Imagine T loudspeaker can, but as if to
compensate the B seems a bit lighter and fleeter of foot in the upper
mids and lower treble. Neil Gader, Issue 189
Paul Barton's latest creation again sets a standard for performance
in this class. The Image T6 Tower Loudspeaker's dual 6.5" woofers
deliver realistic bass down to 35Hz (-3dB) coupled to a very clean,
pure, transparent midrange. The bass tends toward the warm and "boomy"
rather then dry and tight site. The treble is clean and extended, albeit
with a bit of exess energy. Th Image T6 Tower Loudspeaker's
low-diffraction cabinet has paid off in outstanding imaging; the Image
T6 Tower Loudspeaker's easily disappear into the soundfield. Robert
Greene, Issue 200
Another Brilliant two-way compact from Paul Barton and crew. The
"mini-me" to the larger Synchrony Two Tower, the Synchrony Two B
Bookself Loudspeaker is more of a classic "voice" speaker and windfall
for chorale listeners and singer / songwriter aficionados. Capable of
solid 60Hz extension... Neil Gader, Issue 177
Tonally neutral and Dynamically turbocharged, this short,
two-and-a-half-way Tower offers a balance of audio virtues that is
classic PSB. from the vivid midrange to the powerful midbass, nothing
seems out of joint - and that goes for the Imagine T Tower Loudspeakers
seamless curvilinear enclosure. Not as nuanced as the Synchrony but more
then good enough to make you feel like a big spender. Neil Gader, Issue
189
Synchrony Two Tower Loudspeaker
A sonic extrovert, with dark voluptuous tonality, the Synchrony Two
Tower offers bone-rattling dynamic exitement in a sleek, four-driver,
two way, bass-reflex design. Two of its woofers high-pass to the tweeter
at differing frequencies, giving this PSB marvelous coherence and
extension from bottom to top... Neil Gader, Issue 177
