    I use a Rega Planar II turntable with a glass table and a dampening pad on top of it. Having worked with A&M Records for 20 years, I was lucky to get any audiophile pressed recording I wanted. When I throw on the Police Zenyatta Mendata album, the drums are in your face with no distortion. Guitars, bass and vocals are bright but one never is at risk of overriding the others, a truly balanced performance. My only regret is that I foolishly began to get rid of some extra vinyl I had in exchange for cd's, so instead of having 3500 albums to listen to on these speakers I have only 1200 or so. I also have an old pair of working PSB Beta II's that came out in the 70's and they still sound amazing. I gave those to my daughter when I set up a system for her. They competed directly with Visonic Little David's and were more affordable to a university student on a budget that the Little David's. I doubt I ever will buy another set of speakers as these should see me off this mortal coil.

    One of my old PSB 800 speakers finally gave up the ghost. I'm very happy with the Alpha P5 speakers as a replacement.

    Blown away by the Bass and Soundstage for Bookshelf Speakers...BUT should we ? Their PSB's - Paul Barton and Company always ahead of the curve...Once they were broken in the sound quality was incredible-- Changed my setup from home theatre to 4 speaker Stereo with my Marantz NR1200- going back to the 1970's sound set up and loving it.....

    I´m surprised with the bass, I think I won´t even need a subwoofer with these in my small room, It shines with female voices, nice unfatiguing treble, some mids tend to feel busy with complex music, and the deep bass could be for tight. Extremely happy with them
