We’ve teamed up with Tarun, aka A British Audiophile to select our beloved bookshelf speakers in the $1,000 to $3,000 price tag range.
Part 1 of our dialogue examines the very first a few of six of the greatest bookshelf speakers we’ve tested.

PSB Synchrony B600
PSB is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the Synchrony B600s may be one particular of the very best loudspeakers to occur from Paul S. Barton. The alternatively hefty Canadian stand-mounted loudspeakers produce dynamics, bass, and a significantly much larger sounding soundstage than practically anything in its price tag variety.
The slightly warm tonal harmony and spaciousness helps make the PSB Synchrony B600 a person of the most participating loudspeakers we have listened to in several decades but care requires to be taken with the amplification. The Synchrony B600s call for additional energy than the specs could counsel but reward the listener with a degree of scale that is beyond outstanding for the asking price tag.
In which to obtain: $2,799 at Crutchfield

Amphion Argon 1
Finland is not regarded to be a primary manufacturer of large-end loudspeakers, but Amphion is a pretty powerful exception to the rule. The model has develop into quite prosperous in the pro audio world and their technological know-how has trickled down into some superb items like the Argon 1.
A loudspeaker that does not consider up a lot of place but delivers a great deal of sound and a incredibly spacious presentation. If you crave some thing thoroughly clean and detailed but also quite punchy and able of managing rock, electronic new music, and hip-hop — the Amphion Argon 1 may well surprise you with its abilities.
Where to get: $2,000 at Alma Music & Audio

Spendor Vintage 4/5
The entry-level Traditional 4/5 provides a much more inexpensive possibility from the venerable British maker with a pretty balanced presentation, superb transparency, and detail galore for a Spendor. This sealed box won’t bend the legal guidelines of physics but its bass response in a lesser space (16′ x 13′ or smaller sized) may possibly be enough for a large amount of listeners.
The sensitivity is on the decreased side so take into consideration 50 watts/channel to be a excellent setting up level. Spendor offers tailor made stands for these that are way too high-priced in our impression, but any 24″ stands with some solidity and weight will do the job.
Where to invest in: $2,825 at Upscale Audio
