[cnet] PSB’s iconic affordable Alpha Series speakers come in for a makeover

LexRank Summarization

• The P5's interior felt damping material is placed in the middle of the cabinet to better absorb reflections, most speakers have their interior walls lined with soft material.


• Arcade Fire's densely mixed Reflektor album is well sorted out by the P5s so it was easy to follow the bass, drums, keyboards and guitars, and the soundstage extended beyond the locations of the speakers.


• The P5's treble is fine, but switching over to a set of Emotiva Airmotiv B1 bookshelf speakers the highs are airier and smoother.

TextRank Summarization

• There's something so satisfying about the way the P5s unleash Callahan's growling voice.


• The P5's surprising brawn was evident from the get go, and it's the sort of speaker that sounds like it enjoys being played pretty loud.


• The P5 had a special affinity for piano recordings like Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff.
