PSB Synchrony T600 Premium Tower Speaker (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Synchrony T600 is a flagship floorstanding tower loudspeaker from PSB Speakers (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Engineered as a ground-up redesign representing the most advanced application of PSB's True to Nature sound philosophy, the T600 is a transitional 3-way, bass-reflex tower housing three 6.5" woven carbon-fibre woofers, a 5.25" carbon-fibre midrange driver, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter, with a full-range frequency response of 24 Hz to 23,000 Hz (±3dB) and 91dB in-room sensitivity. Designed and measured at Canada's National Research Council (NRC) under PSB founder and Chief Acoustic Designer Paul Barton, and a recipient of Stereophile Recommended Component status, the T600 delivers uncanny tonal accuracy, thrilling dynamics, and pinpoint imaging in a refined, furniture-grade cabinet with integrated IsoAcoustics GAIA II isolation feet.

Advanced Driver Design and Transitional Array Architecture

The Synchrony T600 is built around an all-new driver platform developed specifically for the Synchrony Series. The three 6.5" woofers and 5.25" midrange driver share the same construction philosophy: woven carbon-fibre cones for exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio, die-cast aluminum baskets for mechanical stability, and mass-loaded rubber surrounds for long-term durability and controlled cone excursion. Each driver's motor structure incorporates Faraday rings, a shorted turn, a longer voice coil, and symmetrical magnetic drive to maintain constant magnetic force in the voice coil gap. The result is a dramatic reduction in non-linear distortion, producing a more open midrange, greater bass impact, and improved micro-dynamic resolution compared to all previous PSB driver platforms. The 1" titanium dome tweeter uses Ferrofluid damping and a neodymium magnet for thermal stability and extended high-frequency composure.

The T600 employs a five-way transitional array crossover topology in which each of the three 6.5" woofers covers a progressively narrower frequency band. Rather than all three woofers operating in parallel across the same bandwidth, the top woofer runs up to the midrange crossover point at 450 Hz, the middle woofer rolls off earlier, and the bottom woofer operates only at the lowest frequencies. This arrangement randomizes the floor-bounce reflection from each woofer, reducing comb-filtering interference at the listening position and producing smoother, more coherent bass response across a wide range of room placements. The amplitude-perfect Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order acoustic crossover uses high-voltage poly film capacitors and oxygen-free interconnect wire for precise, phase-accurate driver handoff at 450 Hz (B3) and 1,800 Hz (LR4).

Acoustically Inert Enclosure with Isolated Aluminum Baffle and IsoAcoustics GAIA II Feet

The T600's MDF enclosure features more extensive internal bracing than any previous PSB loudspeaker. The front baffle is clad in a 5mm solid aluminum plate mechanically decoupled from the cabinet body by ten isolation cups, suppressing baffle resonance that can obscure fine detail and transient clarity. The enclosure is divided into four discrete chambers: one sealed chamber shared by the midrange driver and tweeter, and three identically tuned, individually rear-ported chambers, one per woofer. This subdivision eliminates in-cabinet standing waves and ensures each woofer operates in an acoustically independent and optimized environment.

At the base of each T600 tower are four outrigger stabilizers fitted with custom isolators built on the same three-part technology as IsoAcoustics' GAIA II isolators. These feet prevent mechanical energy generated by the drivers and cabinet from coupling into the supporting floor surface and reflecting back into the enclosure, improving micro-detail retrieval, transient clarity, soundstage width, and imaging precision. Two rubber port plugs per speaker are included to allow listeners to adjust bass output and tame low-frequency room interactions without external room correction hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PSB Synchrony T600?

The PSB Synchrony T600 is PSB's flagship floorstanding tower loudspeaker, a transitional 3-way bass-reflex design featuring three 6.5" woven carbon-fibre woofers, a 5.25" carbon-fibre midrange driver, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter. It delivers a full-range frequency response of 24 Hz to 23,000 Hz (±3dB) and 91dB in-room sensitivity. Designed at Canada's National Research Council under Paul Barton and recognized as a Stereophile Recommended Component, the T600 represents the full expression of PSB's True to Nature sound philosophy in a refined, furniture-grade enclosure.

How does the PSB Synchrony T600 compare to the Bowers and Wilkins 702 S3 or the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III?

The PSB Synchrony T600 competes directly with floorstanders like the Bowers and Wilkins 702 S3 and the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III, but takes a fundamentally different engineering approach. Where the 702 S3 centres its identity on a carbon-dome tweeter and Bowers' Continuum midrange cone for a detailed, slightly forward presentation, and the Olympica Nova III prioritizes enclosure resonance and a warm Italian voicing, the T600 is built on NRC measurement science and a transitional woofer array that controls floor-bounce reflections more precisely than conventional parallel woofer designs. The T600 also matches or exceeds both competitors in low-frequency extension while offering the unique advantage of in-built IsoAcoustics GAIA II-based isolation feet, which most competitors require as an expensive aftermarket addition.

What is the transitional array design in the PSB Synchrony T600?

The transitional array is a crossover topology in which the T600's three 6.5" woofers each cover a progressively narrower frequency band rather than all operating in parallel across the same range. The top woofer covers the full bass region up to the 450 Hz midrange crossover point, the middle woofer rolls off at a lower frequency, and the bottom woofer operates only at the deepest bass frequencies. This arrangement randomizes the floor-bounce reflection from each woofer, reducing comb-filtering interference at the listening position and producing smoother, more extended bass response across a wide variety of room placements and listening distances.

Can the PSB Synchrony T600 work without a subwoofer in a medium-to-large listening room?

Yes. The PSB Synchrony T600 is designed for full-range, stand-alone operation in medium to large listening rooms without a subwoofer. Its frequency response extends to 24 Hz (±3dB) with an LF cutoff at 20 Hz, and with typical room gain the T600 can reproduce bass flat to 20 Hz or below in most domestic environments. With 300 Watts program power handling and 91dB in-room sensitivity, the T600 reaches realistic concert-level volumes without strain. Two included port plugs allow listeners to tame bass output in rooms with pronounced low-frequency reinforcement.

What amplifier should I pair with the PSB Synchrony T600?

The PSB Synchrony T600 performs well with any amplifier capable of delivering between 20 and 300 Watts into a 4-Ohm load. At Vinyl Sound in Toronto, the T600 is well matched with NAD Masters Series integrated amplifiers and streaming amplifiers from the Lenbrook family, which share the same Canadian engineering lineage as PSB. The T600's 91dB in-room sensitivity means it is not a demanding load for moderately powered amplifiers, but it scales upward significantly with higher-current, higher-power electronics. For a streaming-capable single-box system, the NAD M33 BluOS Streaming DAC-Amplifier is a natural and synergistic pairing.

What do the IsoAcoustics-based feet on the PSB Synchrony T600 actually do?

The outrigger-mounted isolators on the T600 are custom-built on the same technology platform as IsoAcoustics' award-winning GAIA II feet. Their function is to break the mechanical coupling between the speaker cabinet and the floor surface, preventing vibrational energy generated by the drivers from transmitting into the supporting structure and reflecting back into the enclosure. This reflection, if unchecked, adds a time-smeared coloration to the sound and degrades low-frequency clarity and imaging focus. The GAIA II-based feet also resist lateral movement and oscillation caused by driver excursion, keeping the tweeter axis consistently aligned with the listening position.
