Rare PSB Passif I (Model One) Speakers, Pair, 1970's, Canadian Introduction
Super nice, Ultra rare pair of PSB Passif I Speaker from the mid 70's, Made in Canada
One of Paul Barton best designs and by far the best and rarest of the Passif line of speakers, This version having butyl rubber surrounds on both the woofers and matching passive radiators which never need refoaming and are like new
Extremely nice and well balanced sounding speakers, very smooth and detailed with great (surprising) low end grunt
Cabinets are in excellent condition and the grills are in great shape as well, Just a little dusty
The only downside to this version is the speaker connector plates, Which is also the crossover mount, The plastic they used for this piece became so brittle they completely disintegrated, so a new speaker plate was fabricated from Real Hardwood oak board and the crossover components were reattached with industrial strength glue and new speaker connection terminals that now accept bare wire or banana plugs were added (see pics), You can also see the internal bracing and insulation of the well made cabinets
There are two capacitors in each crossover (10uf, 15uf) that were tested and are in perfect condition, (they can be easily changed at the buyers discretion further down the road but these were also play tested for days and they sound fantastic as is
