Alpha T20 – Tower
Signature speaker for both sound and aesthetics.
The PSB T20 Tower Speakers delivers the highest quality acoustics in the Alpha Series of Speakers and will easily fill any size room with lush, full-bodied sound. Leveraging the latest research in acoustic design and the most advanced cabinet and driver technologies, the all-new Alpha tower has dual custom 5¼” (133mm) woofers, while utilizing the Alpha Series’ patent tweeter and crossover design, to deliver bigger and bolder sound with flawless imaging. The new T20 tower is the perfect start to creating the ultimate affordable surround, or stereo system.
- ¾” (19mm) Black anodized aluminium dome tweeter with front waveguide
- Two 5¼” (133mm) Textured polypropylene woofers with rubber surround
- Bass reflex cabinet design with a rear-firing port
Lifelike acoustics and detail
The T20 uses a ¾” (19mm) black anodized aluminium dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver a lush soundstage full of details. Unlike lesser designs at this price, all of the new Alpha Series tweeters employ ferrofluid cooling to prevent dynamic compression and a neodymium magnet for high sensitivity.
Developed for deep, detailed bass
Featuring PSB Speakers exclusive dual 5¼” (133mm) woofer connected to a dual-layer voice coil for incredible conductivity, the newest Alpha Series tower provides remarkable low-frequency response and exceptional efficiency for a speaker at this price. Starting with a specially textured polypropylene cone that lowers distortion and reduces breakup, the woofer is perfectly matched with the tweeter at the crossover for a smooth sounding transition between high and low frequencies. It’s also backed with a rear-firing port that uses bass flex to tightly control the bass response and extend it even lower.
Reference crossover design
The redesigned Alpha Series tower features a new crossover that exceeds speaker standards with an innovative design that delivers the tightest control and the flattest frequency response. Developed for more than directing low and high frequencies to the individual drivers, the crossover used in the T20 employs a very advanced Acoustic Linkwitz-Riley filter design in the cross to lower distortion and create a large, detailed soundstage for the best listening experience.
Crafted with precision
Using a special MDF material and a unique combination of wall thickness and bracing, the Alpha T20 Tower flawlessly controls resonances while leveraging a light internal material that has been accurately positioned to reduce standing waves. The sturdy, well-constructed cabinet is finished with a high-quality woodgrain vinyl and features acoustically-transparent magnetic grilles that make the speakers disappear into your décor without sonic interference.
- ¾” (19mm) Black anodized aluminium dome tweeter with front waveguide
- Two 5¼” (133mm) Textured polypropylene woofers with rubber surround
- Bass reflex cabinet design with a rear-firing port
- Acoustically-transparent detachable magnetic grilles
- Dual five-way gold-plated binding post speaker terminals
- High-quality woodgrain vinyl finish
- Available in Black Ash or American Walnut

Make your home theatre come alive.
Leveraging the Alpha’s classic award-winning design, yet reimagined for the modern home theatre, the C10 is a must for a more immersive experience whether you’re streaming a movie, watching the big game, or enjoying your favourite show. With a black anodized aluminium dome tweeter, two 5¼” (133mm) custom woofers, and a rear-firing port, the affordable C10 delivers crystal-clear dialogue and cinematic sound that will bring movies to life. The high-quality MDF cabinet is finished in a beautiful woodgrain vinyl and can easily be set up under a TV for seamless integration with your home sound system no matter how you listen.
- ¾” (19mm) Black anodized aluminium dome tweeter with front waveguide
- Two 5¼” (133mm) Textured polypropylene woofers with rubber surround
Hear everything in full detail
The C10 uses a ¾” (19mm) black anodized aluminium dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before, while lowering distortion to deliver a layered soundstage full of detail and clarity. Unlike lesser designs at this price, all the new Alpha Series tweeters employ ferrofluid cooling to prevent dynamic compression and a neodymium magnet for high sensitivity. The tweeter’s front waveguide and its unique placement below the woofer work together to smooth the response at the crossover and perfect on and off-axis performance.
Bring the cinema home
When paired with the Alpha Series’ newly designed tweeter, the C10’s custom 5¼” (133mm) woofer provides remarkable low-frequency response and the highest speaker efficiency in its class. The woofer is constructed from a special textured polypropylene compound that minimizes cone breakup and lowers distortion at full excursion. It’s also supported with dual layer voice coils and a bass reflex design that uses the rear-firing port tube to control the bass response down to room-shaking levels.
Matched to perfection
The Alpha Series’ new crossover exceeds speaker standards with a special custom design that does more than direct low and high frequencies to the individual drivers–it delivers the tightest control and the flattest frequency response. An unusually complex Acoustic Linkwitz-Riley filter design has also been incorporated into the crossover design to lower distortion and create a seamless soundscape in any type of two-channel setup or surround sound system.
Seamless home theatre integration
A unique combination of wall thickness and bracing controls resonances and provides a perfect platform for the C10’s driver components, while its internal damping material is from PSB’s flagship lines and has been positioned precisely for optimal effectiveness. Finished with a high-quality wood grain vinyl and magnetically attached grilles that are acoustically transparent, the C10 is perfectly designed to sit alongside your furniture and provide rich, detailed sound.

Alpha P5 – Bookshelf
Breakthrough design for incredible studio-quality sound.

A timeless design featuring a 5.25” woofer, the P5 allows you to transform your system with pristine sound. The P5 uses a 0.75” black anodized aluminium dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver layered sound with detail and clarity. Available in choice of simulated Walnut or Black Ash, the P5 delivers outsized performance compared to its nearest competitors. Simply add a subwoofer (for even deeper bass) and/or other Alpha models for an awesome home theater experience.

How to Improve on a Legend
While the original intent has not changed, today’s Alpha designs benefit greatly from improved materials and production techniques, not to mention an additional 30 years of experience. These new Alpha models are ‘clean sheet” designs taking full advantage of the latest available technologies to create speakers that are smooth and dynamic with the ability to express the full range of musical sounds with nothing added and nothing taken away.
Improved Drivers and Materials
For the new Alpha P5, PSB developed a new 5 ¼” woofer employing dual layer voice coils with powerful magnets and polypropylene cones for detail, low distortion and power handling. A new ¾” (19mm) tweeter is ferrofluid cooled and features a Neodymium magnet for high sensitivity and power handling. A wave guide on the front of the tweeter helps match the response of the tweeter near the crossover point with the woofer for a seamless transition. Of note, the tweeter is placed below the woofer on some models which, in concert with the precisely engineered crossover network, provides a uniform sound field whether the listener is seated or standing.
Unsurpassed Value
In keeping with the Alpha philosophy, the P5 indeed represents remarkable value for its size and performance. In fact, though the new models easily outperform the originals, all of the new Alphas are slightly cheaper than the original models, when adjusted for inflation. Better performance for less money means outstanding value.

- Woofer with Polypropylene Cones and Rubber Surrounds
