#61 PSB Alpha P5: $549 per pair PSB Speakers 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.
