    PSB

    Last week I sold my PSB T3's to my best friend who now lives in Albuquerque. He drove up here and sold his PSB Synchrony One's to my son. It turns out that a midrange was not working. We took it to a local repair shop and they found that the crossover for the midrange was the problem. A cap and the coil were fried. My friend had no idea.

    My issue with PSB is that we called them to locate a service center and they do not service the Synchrony line any more and they do not carry any parts for repairs including drivers and crossovers. The Synchrony line is not that old. It is the previous generation. The repair shop had to use a different cap and coil but similar values.

    What a bunch of crap.

    That sucks Larry.

    I had a similar exchange when I asked Albert about rebuilding the crossovers on my Clearfields (von Schwiekert)

    He told me to buy new speakers and don't try to mess with the ones I have because they will never sound the way they were intended to sound.

    Brian, I called PSB yesterday and they do not even carry the schematics for the crossover any more. I wonder if this has anything to do with them being taken over by Lenbrook industries.
