 This is the big one – The Perfect Vision's annual roundup of every
product they recommend in every category and at every price level. From
loudspeakers to video projectors to HDTV sets to DVD players to A/V receivers
to everything in-between, their Editors’ Choice Awards recognize the
best-performing and highest-value components in home theater – the
crème de la crème. How did PSB do you might ask? Well The
editors at The Perfect Vision deemed it necessary to give us FIVE Awards

PSB
VisionSound Home Theater System $4742
More then many "plasma" speakers, PSB's VisionSound models offer serious dynamic wallop and a rich, suave sound quality you'd expect from big freestanding speaker systems. The VisionSound modules are also extremely versatile because they ship with adjustable wall-mount brackets and center-channel feet, and can easily be converted for vertical, tabletop use via on optical bolt-on pedestal-type stand kit. Significantly, the VisionSounds provide switch-select-able crossover settings that optimize the speakers for normal or on-wall use. -

Image T55 Tower Home Theater System $2796
Defined by its fine overall balance with special kudos for the excellent
center channel and SubSeries
6i subwoofer, the PSB T55
Tower once again hits the “V” spot – for
value, that is. In stereo or multichannel the T55 dances with toe-tapping
energy and dynamics.... If you can’t get enthused with the T55,
you might consider checking your pulse.

Platinum M2 Home Theater System $8396
It’s hard to think of how $8K could be better spent in pursuit of the
multichannel experience. The aluminum-sheathed Platinum
M2 Monitor L/Rs, Platinum
C2 Center, and Platinum
S2 Surrounds aren’t ruffled by any multichannel source, reproducing
the weight, majesty, and complexity of music and soundtracks in stereo
or 5.1. The entire system blends seamlessly with the
SubSeries 10 subwoofer.

PSB
CW180R In-Wall Loudspeaker $599 each
The open mids and highs and dual-level controls are the prime attributes
of PSB’s coaxial in-wall. The pivoting SonicGuide feature (a constant
directivity wave-guide) makes the PSB ideal for both on-wall and in-ceiling
mounting. Horizontal dispersion could use some improvement, GA found,.
And while bass response was better than average, the system still requires
a sub for the deepest extension. Naturally PSB offers in-wall
subwoofer solutions as well.

PSB
SubSeries 5i Subwoofer $499
At this point no one should be surprised by what this Canadian speaker
company can do in the lower-price range. Even so, the performance of this
econo-sub is semi-unbelievable. Extension, dynamic slam, and good musicality
from this 10” bass-reflex design make it the perfect match for misers
with the Midas touch.

PSB
SubSeries 10 Subwoofer $2499
The dual-10”-driver design of this overbuilt 500W power-house hasn’t
met a bass note above 20Hz it can’t handle – with either muscle
or finesse. Musical on a grand scale with awesome dynamic punch. There’s
no going back to an everyday sub after this PSB. And at 110 pounds, who’s
going to move it?
