Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $525.00 from Krazy Kiley's (price is in canadian dollars)

Summary:
My 800's have been quite good to me. However they lack the substantial bass response that I was looking for. They were the first speakers that I ever bought though so I was a little green when it came to stereo hardware. They are a good match with my Cerwin Vega At15's that I know have. I managed to blow one of the woofers without a great deal of trouble. The volume wasn't even above 5. They r supposed to be able to handle much more than the 110 watts I was powering them with. Oh well. PSB claims that their two smaller woofer per speaker design is equal to one large woofer per speaker. I don't know if I believe that or not as my AT15's can easily outperform them.

Strengths:
Good overall speakers. Attractive styling.

Weaknesses:
Lack substantial bass.

Similar Products Used:
Bose 301's.

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
I've had these speakers for more than a year now and I love them more and more every time I listen to them. They are practically identical to the PSB 800i's, except they're the older model. They sound fantastic, and they're definitely worth the money, with a MSRP of $800.

Strengths:
Bass, power handling, high levels

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
