Is it just me or just South Bend or what? $299/pr for PSB Alpha is not that
good of a deal and I can't stand the sound. A friend was looking at bookshelf
speakers recently and the salesman would not stop pushing those damn PSB Alpha'sThey were about $200/pr and when I listened to them compared to Polk Monitor 4
I was totally unimpressed. My friend bought the Polk's. I also compared them
to the Pinnacles (I don't know the model but they are small) and the Pinnacles
sounded better than the Alpha's also but I liked the Polk's more than the Pin's
anyway. Is this PSB Alpha that I keep hearing about on the net and I read
something about it in a rag, really so good? (I know, personal perference
and all that) Is it just so new to this poor (I mean terrible) market that
they have lowered the price to get them out? (They supposedly did that with
some Luxman equipment in South Bend and it still didn't catch on) I don't
know but I thought the sound was far too bright and harsh. Just MHO and
