For whom
Contents
Do you sometimes get a little despondent about this hobby too? It always has to be better, it’s never enough. That feeling. Well, the PSB Synchrony B600 is the perfect antidote to that. A particularly musical, yes musical, loudspeaker that simultaneously caters to the discerning audiophile. Whatever genre you prefer, the PSB Synchrony B600 always makes it a fine experience. Paul Barton clearly knows what he is doing and makes the most of rather conventional components. While there is a lot of great stuff out there in this price range, this PSB Synchrony B600 stands out as far as we are concerned.

After a month, we take out our just Canton Reference 9 again. That takes some getting used to. Although the Cantons have the same driver arrangement with the tweeter at the bottom, they are cut from a different cloth. The Canton has a fresher midrange, cymbals, cymbals and brushstrokes get more zinggg. The low end is drier and tighter on the Canton The low end on the PSB runs a bit plumper and fuller without becoming unwieldy or sluggish. As already mentioned, an exquisite balancing act. Both do have about the same amount of slam but the PSB has a bit more body. They are also both sufficiently dynamic, but the Canton comes across as a bit more direct versus the slightly more forgiving PSB. The PSB “disappears” more easily and has an even wider spread than the Canton.
