PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands?

It is not even close, IMHO, different league

mohit25, you're right--i mistyped. new psbs msrp is $5k, tho the street price seems to be as low as $3.5k. i haven't heard much that's as good in that range.

Thanks for the responses. After discussing this with my local dealer (who, of course, does not have them available for demo), given my room size and sitting position (10 feet from the speakers), he does not think i would get the full enjoymet out of the PSB 1s. He suggested the PSB 2s instead.

Do the 2s rate similarly higher in your opinions? I listen to mostly rock and jazz with some acoustic.

I have heard both (my friend has the PSB's and the other I heard at a hifi shop). Honestly, I do not care for either of these speakers. Of course this is a very personal decision but for me I'd look elsewhere.

Don't buy the PSB's until you have heard them against another speaker in the same price range...and you will then understand why I suggested to audition them.
