Alpha AM5 Powered Bookshelf Speakers

First designed and manufactured in a small Canadian town in 1991, the Alpha Series started with the simple idea of creating affordable speakers that were focused purely on performance. With passion and dedication in pursuit of a natural sounding speaker, and by leveraging almost 50 years of research conducted at the Canadian National Research Council, the Alphas are known as one of the world’s most iconic speakers and are still the reference benchmark for entry-level hi-fi speakers today.

Matched components, unmatched performance

Leveraging amplification expertise from our sister brands provided the PSB design team the considerable advantage of designing a speaker for a known amplifier. By adding the power of digital signal processing, frequency response, bass extension and output are optimized to a remarkable level of performance. Very few powered speakers share intellectual resources of this magnitude, making the Alpha AM5 a standout in the crowd of powered speakers. A renowned amplifier company and speaker company perfecting the powered speaker is truly a match made in acoustic heaven.

Flexible and convenient

Just like its smaller brother, the AM3, these powered bookshelf speakers are effortless to set up and use. There’s no amplifier to hook up or apps to download. Streaming your favourite music from your devices is easy thanks to aptX Bluetooth – simply pair and play. Enjoy connecting them to your computer or TV for clear, natural sound. The AM5 even features several sound modes, allowing you to accentuate dialogue, soundstage and more. Vinyl lovers will appreciate the dedicated RCA phono input. Where desired, use the sub output to add a subwoofer for even deeper bass.

Simple, timeless design

Featuring acoustically transparent detachable magnetic grilles in a choice of matte black or matte white finish, the AM5 offers a simple and timeless design that seamlessly blends into any décor. The elegant cabinet design lends itself to a wide variety of placement options, from desktop to bookshelf, or even stand mount.

Alpha, AM Impressed by your performance

Read several reviews before taking the plunge and PSB Alpha AM5s have exceeded my expectations! My only regret is I didn’t buy more pairs while they were on sale because I’d like to gift them to my kids now too.

Speakers good, company not so much.

These speakers are great.
My only issue with this transaction is that there were multiple prices and multiple discounts listed. I originally looked at the speakers-600$. Clicked on the link, all of a sudden they are 750$. So I figured it was 600$ for the refurbished speakers. Then I look at the new speaker page and it says 40% off and still lists th Elric’s at 750$ and all emails fell on deaf ears.

I hope they aren’t like that if something goes wrong with the speakers.
