THE BRAND COLLECTION
PSB Speakers for music and home cinema
PSB Speakers connects a Canadian loudspeaker tradition with practical listening at home. Its focus on measurement and listening research gives a useful background for choosing speakers around a real room.
From speaker kits to a Canadian audio name
Paul Barton established PSB Speakers in 1972, with the name referring to Paul and Sue Barton. His early interest in music and speaker building developed into a company making loudspeakers for music and home cinema.
PSB’s published history describes its work with Canada’s National Research Council and controlled listening research. That background reflects an effort to connect measurable loudspeaker behavior with listener preferences.
Choose for your listening space
Begin with the speaker format, the distance to the listening seat and the placement the room permits. A compact speaker on a suitable stand and a floorstanding speaker each involve different space and bass considerations. Include amplification and any subwoofer in the comparison.
For a shared music and cinema system, consider the full speaker layout and how the system will be used every day. Our services connect component matching with room treatment and placement, helping you evaluate the whole listening environment.
