PSB Speakers announces a pair of Alpha series subwoofers-- the Alpha S10 and S8, both paying attention to the crossover filter design to deliver “imperceptive transition between subwoofer and speaker.”
The S8 and S10 also incorporate a rear slot port design to eliminate any audible port noise or chuffing. Powering the subs is a 150W RMS amplifier capable of 120W of dynamic power for deep-bass peak, together with polypropylene cones and rubber surround. The company says the subs are ideal both dedicated home music systems or home cinemas, and the design and final voicing are engineered by Paul Barton.
"In general, most subwoofers in this category are expected to merely produce noticeable sound pressure levels in the portion of the listening register most frequented by home theatre special effects," the company continues. "Detail, finesse and musicality are sacrificed for the sake of dinosaurs stomping their feet or explosions. Alpha subwoofers are held to much more stringent goals. The S8 and S10 are capable of performing the most demanding musical passages with an incredible degree of refinement."
