Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones?

I haven't had the chance yet to hear these speakers, since the nearest dealer is a 10 hour drive away. I will be able to audition them in the near future, but if anyone has had a chance to hear them, any comments would be appreciated. My system includes a Simaudio I-7 integrated amp, Bryston BCD-1 CD player, and B&W 804S speakers. I am thinking of changing speakers, and have heard that these are worth a listen.

I just picked up a demo pair of Synchrony One's, powered by an Integra DTR-9.9. I am absolutely astounded at how good they sound. Sound stage, bass response, clear and grain free mid and top end. I love them. The Integra is rated at 145wpc into two channels at 8 ohms. Tested at 276wpc into two channels at 4 ohms at 0.1%thd. So the power seems right.

Do any of you think a 100pwc into 8ohm Simuadio I-3 can handle the bass of the Synch Ones?

I have the Synch Twos right now and there is no problem with bass bloom, but a bit concerned the Ones need more power given they go deeper...

Both are rated to the same impedance and sensitivity.

Thanks!

Hi do you think a Simaudio I-3 (100W/8ohms, 180W into 40hms), can handle the bass of the Ones well enough?

The amp controls my Synchrony Two's fine, but concerned with the deeper bass of the Ones there may be more bloom

Thanks

Based on their construction, there is some similarity between the PSB Synchrony series and Magico. Use of curved, heavily brace, multi laminate enclosures to get rid of enclosure resonances. Is there any similarity in the sound. I would especially expect the synchrony sound to be very detailed, with no smearing from resonances.

They're awesome for the cost. A real bargain if you can find them on the gon. I've run them for 2 years with a McIntosh MA6900. Super midrange and highs and deep crisp bass.
