Psb alpha s10 active subwoofer, brand new condition. Reluctant sale - doesn't fit the cabinetry it was intended for! Comes as new, in box. With power cables, manuals, guarantees and feet balan
At €450, this PSB is right in the sensible used-buy zone if it’s clean and working properly. New pricing for the Alpha S10 has sat around €500-€820 depending on market and retailer, so this asking price is broadly fair rather than cheap—good value only if condition is genuinely strong and it includes the essentials.
It’s worth buying because the Alpha S10 is a well-regarded 10-inch, 150W front-firing sub that tends to sound controlled and musical rather than boomy, which suits hi-fi and mixed music/movie use well. If the cabinet, amp plate, and driver are original and healthy, this is the kind of sub that can disappear into a system and just do the job. At this price, I’d want to see proof it powers up quietly, plays cleanly, and hasn’t had a rough life.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PSB Speakers traces its roots to 1972 in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada, where classically trained violinist and self-taught acoustics engineer Paul Barton launched the company with two school friends, pooling savings for a modest factory. Named after Paul and his high-school sweetheart Sue Barton—who later became his wife—the brand embodied Barton's early passion for hi-fi, honed through part-time work building speaker kits at a local shop and studies at the University of Waterloo. A pivotal collaboration with National Research Council psychoacoustician Dr. Floyd Toole in 1974 established PSB's rigorous testing in anechoic chambers and double-blind listening rooms, shaping its signature "Canadian Sound" of truthful, natural reproduction.
The company focuses squarely on loudspeakers, spanning entry-level Alpha models to high-end Platinum series, alongside home theater systems, in-ceiling CustomSound options, and expansions into headphones, portable Bluetooth speakers, and subwoofers. Acquired by the Lenbrook Group in 1985—which also owns NAD Electronics—PSB gained global distribution, now reaching over 70 countries while maintaining Barton as chief designer. This heritage of psychoacoustics research ensures products prioritize flat frequency response and musical accuracy over hype.
PSB holds a strong mid-to-high-end position among discerning audiophiles, revered for value-driven performance that rivals pricier rivals without gimmicks. Its scientific foundation and "true-to-nature" ethos earn consistent praise, cementing a reputation as a Canadian benchmark in a crowded market, distributed through premium dealers worldwide.
