PSB Synchrony T800 Tower Speakers

PSB Synchrony T800 Tower Loudspeakers at Vinyl Sound Buffalo NY

The PSB Synchrony T800 is the flagship tower loudspeaker of PSB's Synchrony Series, representing the pinnacle of acoustic engineering from one of Canada's most respected loudspeaker manufacturers. Available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York, the T800 is a transitional three-way bass reflex design incorporating a 1" titanium dome tweeter, a 5¼" carbon fibre midrange driver, and three 8" carbon fibre woofers mounted in individually-tuned chambers with triple rear-firing ports. The Synchrony T800 delivers a full-range frequency response of 21Hz to 23,000Hz (±3dB), a sensitivity of 89dB anechoic (91dB in-room), and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, making it compatible with a wide range of high-current audiophile amplifiers. The Synchrony T800 is part of Vinyl Sound Buffalo's full loudspeaker collection, which includes bookshelf, floorstanding, and centre channel speakers from leading audiophile brands. IsoAcoustics GAIA II isolation feet are included as standard, integrated into custom outrigger stabilizers to decouple the cabinet from the floor and minimize mechanical energy feedback into the enclosure.

Driver Configuration and Crossover Design

The PSB Synchrony T800 employs a transitional three-way driver array engineered for coherent, low-distortion reproduction across the full audio spectrum. The 1" titanium dome tweeter with ferrofluid cooling handles high-frequency reproduction from 1,800Hz upward, crossed over using a Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order network for precise phase and amplitude alignment at the crossover points. The 5¼" cast basket carbon fibre midrange driver with rubber surround covers the critical vocal and instrument range from 450Hz to 1,800Hz, while three 8" cast basket carbon fibre woofers with rubber surrounds, each housed in a discrete, individually-tuned chamber, reproduce bass frequencies down to a measured LF cutoff of 20Hz. The crossover employs polypropylene film capacitors and oxygen-free copper wiring throughout. Triple five-way gold-plated binding posts support tri-wiring and tri-amplification configurations, and two included port plugs allow bass tuning to suit different room acoustics.

Cabinet Construction and Isolation

The Synchrony T800 cabinet is constructed from acoustically inert MDF with aluminum-clad front baffles to maximize rigidity and reduce baffle resonance. Each of the three woofers occupies a discrete, subdivided internal chamber with its own rear-firing port, eliminating inter-driver coupling and minimizing standing waves within the enclosure. The cabinet is available in Satin Walnut Veneer and High Gloss Black finishes, with magnetically-mounted acoustically transparent fabric grilles included. The outrigger stabilizer base integrates IsoAcoustics GAIA II feet as standard, providing effective decoupling from the listening room floor at no additional cost — a feature that distinguishes the T800 from competing tower loudspeakers at its price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier power does the PSB Synchrony T800 require?

PSB recommends 20 to 300 watts per channel for the Synchrony T800. The nominal impedance is 4 ohms with a minimum of 4 ohms, so a high-current amplifier capable of driving 4-ohm loads is recommended for optimal performance. The T800's 89dB anechoic sensitivity (91dB in-room) means it is relatively efficient and does not require an extremely powerful amplifier for typical listening levels in most rooms.

Does the PSB Synchrony T800 include IsoAcoustics feet?

Yes. The Synchrony T800 includes IsoAcoustics GAIA II isolation feet integrated into the custom outrigger stabilizer base as standard. The GAIA II feet isolate the loudspeaker cabinet from the floor, preventing mechanical energy generated by the drivers from reflecting back into the enclosure and reducing sympathetic resonance with the floor surface.

What is the bass extension of the PSB Synchrony T800?

The PSB Synchrony T800 measures 21Hz to 23,000Hz at ±3dB, with an LF cutoff of 20Hz. This extension is achieved through three 8" carbon fibre woofers, each mounted in a discrete individual chamber, with triple rear-firing ports. Two included port plugs allow the user to adjust bass output to suit room acoustics and manage low-frequency room resonance.

Can the PSB Synchrony T800 be tri-wired or tri-amplified?

Yes. The Synchrony T800 features triple five-way gold-plated binding posts supporting tri-wiring and tri-amplification. This allows separate amplifier channels or cable runs to be connected to the tweeter, midrange, and woofer sections independently, bypassing the passive crossover for each driver section when using active amplification or allowing premium cable optimization with tri-wiring.
