PSB Synchrony T800 Premium Tower Speaker - Satin Walnut - Each

PSB's Flagship: Three 8-Inch Woofers, Individually Isolated

The PSB Synchrony T800 is a 3-way floorstanding tower and PSB's flagship, built around a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, a 5.25-inch carbon fiber midrange driver, and three 8-inch carbon fiber woofers, each housed in its own individually tuned chamber.

PSB rates sensitivity at 89 dB anechoic (91 dB in a real listening room), and recommends amplifiers between 20 and 300 watts into a demanding 4-ohm load that rewards a genuinely capable amplifier.

The cabinet is available in Satin Walnut or Gloss Black, and each tower is sold on its own, so a full stereo pair means ordering two towers, one for each channel of a stereo system.

Where the Larger Woofers Earn Their Keep

A Refined Driver Platform, Scaled Up

The 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, with ferrofluid damping and a neodymium magnet, crosses over to a dedicated 5.25-inch carbon fiber midrange driver at 1,800 Hz — both built with Faraday rings, a shorted turn, a longer voice coil, and symmetrical magnetic drive to reduce distortion at high output.

Below 450 Hz, three 8-inch carbon fiber woofers take over — a full 1.5 inches larger than PSB's other Synchrony tower's woofers — each isolated in its own tuned, rear-ported chamber to break up standing waves inside the cabinet.

The Numbers, and What They Ask of Your Amplifier

PSB quotes a frequency response of 21 Hz to 23 kHz at ±3dB, with a low-frequency cutoff of 20 Hz. Sensitivity is 89 dB anechoic (91 dB in a real listening room), and nominal and minimum impedance are both 4 ohms.

Three pairs of five-way gold-plated binding posts ship for tri-wire or tri-amp use. At 100 pounds each, plan for a firm, level floor and real clearance to move this substantial tower into position.

Who Is This Floorstanding Speaker Best For?

• You want PSB's flagship, not just their entry floorstander — the largest and most accurate driver platform PSB has built, echoing the design of the acclaimed tower below it in the Synchrony line
• You want three isolated woofer chambers, not a shared enclosure — each of the three 8-inch woofers gets its own tuned chamber to break up standing waves
• You want a real choice of finishes — Satin Walnut or Gloss Black, both furniture-grade
• Your amplifier has real current to spare — a 4-ohm load and a 20-to-300-watt recommended range reward a genuinely capable amplifier
• You want real floorstanding bass without a separate subwoofer — the T800 reaches to 21 Hz on its own. For the deepest home-theater effects, add one of our subwoofers and let the towers do what they do best

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Connect each tower to an amplifier or receiver's speaker outputs using the rear binding posts. A 4-ohm load calls for an amplifier genuinely comfortable driving a demanding impedance, ideally in the 20-to-300-watt recommended range.

Three pairs of binding posts accept a single-wire run with the factory jumpers in place, or a tri-wire/tri-amp connection with them removed.

Two included port plugs let you fine-tune bass output to suit your room, taming excess warmth near a wall without giving up low-end extension.

Pairs Well With

What finishes the system around a pair of Synchrony T800 towers:

• Stereo amplifiers — a separate power amp with real current is the natural match for this tower's 4-ohm load
• Integrated amplifiers — a high-current integrated amplifier rated well within the recommended range
• Speaker cables — premium cable for a flagship-tier tower
• Audio racks — house the electronics driving PSB's flagship

Frequently Asked Questions

How much amplifier power do I need?

PSB recommends amplifiers between 20 and 300 watts. The 4-ohm nominal load calls for an amplifier genuinely comfortable driving a demanding impedance, not just one rated for the wattage.

Can I tri-wire the T800?

Yes. Three pairs of binding posts ship for single-wire use with the factory jumpers in place; remove them to tri-wire or tri-amp.

What finishes are available?

Satin Walnut or Gloss Black, both furniture-grade real wood veneer.

What are Faraday rings and a shorted turn?

Driver-motor refinements built into the tweeter and midrange to reduce distortion at high output, allowing higher sound pressure levels without compression.

Do I need a subwoofer with these speakers?

Not necessarily. The T800 reaches to 21 Hz on its own, though a subwoofer can still add reach for home theater use.
