Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 16 PSB models across passive speakers and subwoofers. These are the products in our database, not a complete list of everything PSB makes.
What this page covers. The PSB models ranked here span passive speakers and subwoofers, including PSB Speakers SubSeries 450, PSB Speakers SubSeries 200 and PSB Imagine T65. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.
This page lists all 16 PSB speakers ranked on this site across passive speakers and subwoofers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.
Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.
Prices on this page were last checked October 14, 2026 at 2:38 PM UTC. Product prices and availability are accurate as of that date/time and are subject to change; the price and availability shown on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.

Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #52 of 168 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - PSB Imagine B50: $999 per pair PSB Speakers $999 eBay
Same family: the PSB Imagine T54 (smaller floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5) and the PSB Imagine T65 (larger floorstanding, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: The standmount sibling to the PSB Imagine T65 tower, from PSB’s current 2023-refreshed Imagine line, using the same titanium-dome tweeter and woven-carbon-fiber woofer platform. Measured bass extension of 69.6Hz (-3dB).
Cons: On-axis smoothness of just 0.235 and a deviation of 0.368dB are unremarkable for the price, with a +0.22dB per octave upward tilt giving it a brighter-leaning balance, a predicted in-room smoothness of just 0.35, and a Harman in-room bass extension estimate of only 49Hz. Current retail pricing ($999/pair) has risen well above the ~$700 figure recorded in the spinorama snapshot.

Ranked #61 of 168 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - PSB Alpha P5: $549.00 per pair Amazon $549.00 PSB Speakers $549 eBay
Same family: the PSB Alpha P3 (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, rated 3.3/5), the PSB Alpha T20 (floorstanding, estimated 3.9/5) and the PSB Alpha C10 (center, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: Well-behaved 5.25-inch bookshelf design with excellent 0.113 on-axis smoothness, a nearly flat +0.12dB/octave slope and broad roughly +/-60-degree horizontal coverage. ASR data predicts a 6.25 preference score with a subwoofer and 48Hz in-room extension. Measured bass extension of 58.6Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 87dB.
Cons: Measured sensitivity is low at roughly 84dB, and the underdamped bass alignment (Q 0.42) trades some weight for control. Directivity-index consistency is middling at 3.67 and the raw no-subwoofer preference score is only 3.99.

Ranked #83 of 168 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - PSB Alpha P3: $349.00 per pair Amazon $349.00 PSB Speakers $449 eBay
Same family: the PSB Alpha P5 (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 3.6/5), the PSB Alpha T20 (floorstanding, estimated 3.9/5) and the PSB Alpha C10 (center, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: Very compact cabinets still reach about 55Hz in the local Spinorama snapshot, while the 5.64 sub-assisted score and relatively smooth sound-power behavior make this a sensible small-room speaker. Magnetic grilles and binding posts add practical polish. Measured bass extension of 63.0Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Low measured sensitivity around 81dB restricts clean output and asks more of the amplifier. The raw 3.12 preference score and some response/directivity irregularity keep it behind the best modern compact monitors, and a subwoofer is strongly recommended.

Large Size Floorstanding Speakers
Ranked #66 of 226 in Large Size Floorstanding Speakers - PSB Imagine T65: $2,699 per pair PSB Speakers $2,699 eBay
Same family: the PSB Imagine B50 (bookshelf, rated 3.7/5) and the PSB Imagine T54 (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 4.2/5).
Pros: Three-way design with dual 6.5” woven carbon fiber woofers delivers genuinely strong, extended low end for a $2699 tower: among the better performers Erin has measured in this price class. Distortion shows a clean second-order character with clear separation from third-order all the way up to 96 dB, indicating a well-controlled motor. Compression data shows enhancement rather than compression below about 50-60 Hz, so the bass can sound louder as you turn it up rather than choking off. Wide, forgiving vertical listening window (about ±25°) thanks to the 3-way layout, giving more seating and placement flexibility than most towers. Plenty of dynamic headroom for home theater use or a two-channel system: 100W drove it comfortably in Erin’s room. Measured bass extension of 47Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 85.1dB.
Cons: Noticeable dip in the midrange/crossover region that Erin flagged as affecting dialogue and vocal clarity, though he notes a couple bands of EQ smooths it out. Some horizontal dispersion mismatch (about 10-15° of ballooning between 1-3 kHz) between the midrange and tweeter can add extra perceived attack or detail if your room’s sidewalls are reflective. Dips to 4 ohms, so it wants an amplifier comfortable driving a 4-ohm load. Distortion climbs above 3% around 60 Hz at 96 dB, though it’s benign second-order distortion.

Ranked #98 of 226 in Large Size Floorstanding Speakers - PSB Imagine T54: $2,599.00 per pair PSB Speakers $2,599.00 eBay
Same family: the PSB Imagine B50 (bookshelf, rated 3.7/5) and the PSB Imagine T65 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: Premium 3-way floorstander in the Imagine series featuring dual 5.25-inch woven carbon-fiber woofers, a dedicated 4-inch carbon-fiber midrange, and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter with neodymium magnet. Offers precise dispersion matching, low distortion, and bass reach down to 35Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Rating estimated based on Imagine series sibling testing. 4-ohm nominal impedance requires quality power amplification to maintain composure during dynamic orchestral peaks.

Ranked #142 of 226 in Large Size Floorstanding Speakers - PSB Alpha T20: $1,099.00 per pair Amazon $1,099.00 eBay
Same family: the PSB Alpha P3 (smaller bookshelf, rated 3.3/5), the PSB Alpha P5 (larger bookshelf, rated 3.6/5) and the PSB Alpha C10 (center, estimated 3.4/5).
Pros: Dual 5.25-inch floorstanding loudspeaker voiced by Paul Barton featuring textured polypropylene woofers and a 0.75-inch black anodized aluminum dome tweeter with front waveguide. Yields clean listening-window balance, smooth directivity, and bass reach down to 36Hz in an accessible form factor.
Cons: Rating estimated based on Alpha series sibling testing. Lightweight cabinet construction displays slight resonance at high volume levels compared to heavier high-end towers.

Pros: 0.75-inch anodized aluminum dome tweeter with custom waveguide paired with dual 5.25-inch textured polypropylene woofers. Offers reliable voice-matched tonal balance for PSB Alpha P3/P5 setups.
Cons: Standard horizontal 2-way MTM crossover creates dialogue notches for listeners seated far off-axis. Rating estimated from Alpha series measurements.

Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs)

Same family: the PSB Alpha S8 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, estimated 3.2/5).
Pros: 10-inch polypropylene woofer in a rear-ported enclosure powered by a 150W continuous / 210W dynamic Class D amplifier. Extends bass authority down to 28Hz (-3dB) with clean articulation for stereo music and movie soundtracks.
Cons: Rear bass reflex port requires ample breathing space from back walls to avoid port turbulence. Does not include onboard parametric EQ.

Ranked #43 of 73 in Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs) - PSB SubSeries BP7: $1,249.00 Amazon $1,249.00 eBay
Same family: the PSB SubSeries BP8 (larger subwoofer, estimated 3.6/5) and the PSB SubSeries BP12 (larger subwoofer, estimated 4.2/5).
Pros: A compact sealed subwoofer with two 6.5” woven carbon fiber drivers mounted in opposition, which cancels cabinet vibration, driven by a 350W Class D amplifier. PSB rates it 28 to 150Hz (±3dB) and 25Hz at -10dB from a 27cm cube.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared directly with ranked subwoofers; the rating is estimated from the measured PSB Speakers SubSeries 250 (112.5dB in the 40 to 80Hz CEA-2010 bands). Two 6.5” drivers have limited cone area, so output is modest.

Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs)

Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 78.1 dB at 20 Hz and 99.2 dB (avg of 3/4 bands) through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 5.25” (133mm) driver is best suited to upper-bass support in a modest room.
Cons: Deep-bass output is limited relative to its midbass result, so it is not the right choice for the lowest movie effects. The 161.8H x 161.8W x 199.9D mm cabinet and 2.7 kg mass still need deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.
