psb Speakers Synchrony T800 - Tower
A benchmark of acoustic artistry.
Standing at the pinnacle of the esteemed Synchrony Series, the flagship Synchrony T800 Premium Towers provide a truly genuine audiophile experience. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and boasting the most accurate performance envelope to date, these tower loudspeakers usher in a level of refinement and realism never heard before.
Exceptionally Crafted
Fill your room with legendary PSB sound to the highest degree. The T800 tower loudspeakers are engineered with utmost precision, employing an 8" woofer, 5 ¼" midrange driver, and a 1" titanium dome tweeter. Driving powerful yet controlled sound is an advanced motor structure to minimize distortion, enabling higher sound pressure levels without compression. Precise driver control is made possible through a sophisticated Linkwitz-Riley 4th-order crossover design, complete with poly film capacitors and oxygen-free wire.
Thorough Isolation
The Synchrony T800 achieves optimal openness and sound clarity using a combination of custom-designed, integrated isolation feet provided by IsoAcoustics, which effectively prevents the reflection of mechanical energy generated by the drivers and cabinet back into the enclosure. The enclosure itself is constructed with a robust and acoustically inert MDF cabinet, featuring aluminum-clad front baffles to ensure maximum rigidity and density. Each woofer resides in individually-tuned chambers with rear-firing ports, effectively mitigating in-speaker standing waves.
Reach the depths of your music.
The T800 boasts a full frequency range of 21 Hz-23 kHz (±3dB) akin to high-end subwoofers , delivering extended, well-defined low-frequency performance. Its wide dynamic range enables live-performance volume levels in large spaces, with efficient output (92dB at 1m) and minimal distortion. Two included bass port covers let users fine-tune the bass to manage room resonance, achieving a customized balance of lows and highs for a tailored listening experience.
Understated elegance in every detail.
Embrace the art of simplicity. The Synchrony T800 towers are designed to exude a subtle, refined beauty that doesn't boast or overwhelm so you can let their quiet sophistication and modest charm shine through. Magnet-mounted, acoustically transparent fabric grilles provide an alternative seamless look for an even more simplistic option.

The Synchrony T800 delivers commanding, room-pressurizing low end from its triple 8" woofers while the 5.25" mid and titanium tweeter produce a coherent, transparent midrange and detailed highs. Reviewers Jeff Fritz, Michael Zisserson and Jacob Green praised its scale, dynamics and engineering.
Pros
- Exceptionally deep, tunable, and well-controlled bass that reaches sub-20Hz and pressurizes rooms without boom.
- Coherent, transparent midrange and clean, detailed highs with seamless integration across the crossover.
- High dynamics, low distortion and flagship-grade engineering and build quality (isolated woofer chambers, decoupled aluminum baffle, IsoAcoustics outriggers).

Cons
- Tweeter emphasizes control over extreme ‘sparkle’—not as airy or glittering as some exotic-dome designs.
- Very large and heavy cabinets and a setup-sensitive bass that benefits from careful placement; binding-post spacing can complicate spade connectors or tri-amping.

Bass
97/100
Triple 8" woofers in isolated chambers and rear ports deliver deep, tunable, and well-controlled low end; reviewers repeatedly reported solid 20Hz capability and room-pressurizing bass without boom (Future Audiophile, SoundStage Solo). Tunable ports and chambering earned praise for clean integration and near-wall use, supporting a near-reference low-frequency performance.
Mid
94/100
Multiple reviewers praised the coherent, transparent midrange and natural timbre (Audioholics, SoundStage Solo, Future Audiophile). Vocals and instruments were described as center-focused and free of coloration, with seamless integration across the crossover regions.
Treble
92/100
Titanium dome tweeter with carefully designed rear chamber produced refined, detailed highs without obvious anomalies; reviewers noted clean, crisp bell tones and excellent extension (Future Audiophile, SoundStage Solo). Not as 'sparkly' as exotic-dome designs, but very controlled and resolving.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Reviewers described wide, three-dimensional presentation with pinpoint imaging and an ability to extend beyond the room, often rendering speakers 'invisible' (Future Audiophile, Audioholics). One reviewer noted slightly less depth on one track, but overall imaging was excellent and stable.
Dynamics
94/100
High headroom and low distortion drivers deliver strong micro- and macro-dynamics; reviewers report the T800s can play loud without strain and convey scale and impact well (Future Audiophile, Audioholics, SoundStage Solo). They also expose compressed recordings, reflecting resolving power rather than limitation.

Build Quality
93/100
Rock-solid construction with decoupled aluminum front baffle, subdivided woofer chambers, quality finishes, and included IsoAcoustics-style outriggers; reviewers consistently praised the fit, finish, and engineering (Audioholics, Future Audiophile, SoundStage Solo).
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive tower baseline applied. Features include tri-wireable/tri-ampable triple binding posts, magnetic grilles, and included port plugs and outriggers—but as a passive design, score is capped per policy.
Value for Money
89/100
At roughly $11,999–$12,000/pair (review-sourced), reviewers judged the T800 to be a fair-to-strong value for flagship-level performance, calling it a design marvel for the price while noting it is a relatively high MSRP for PSB (SoundStage Solo, Audioholics).
