PSB Alpha P5 Bookshelf Speakers

Yes, the Alpha P5 is a passive speaker, meaning it requires an external amplifier or receiver to power it. They are compatible with most standard amplifiers, with a recommended power range of 10 to 90 watts.

Absolutely. Because they are designed with a flat frequency response, they provide clear dialogue and precise detail, making them excellent for both stereo music listening and as part of a surround sound home theater system.

The Alpha P5 features a rear-firing port, which helps produce deeper bass. For the best sound quality, we recommend placing them at least a few inches away from the wall to allow the port to breathe and prevent the bass from sounding muddy.

Yes, the speakers include acoustically transparent magnetic grilles that are easy to remove if you prefer the look of the exposed drivers. They snap on and off effortlessly without leaving visible mounting holes.

They are compact enough to fit on most bookshelves, but for the best sonic performance, placing them on dedicated speaker stands is recommended. Stands help decouple the speakers from the shelf, reducing unwanted vibrations and allowing for better imaging.

The aluminum dome tweeter is designed to extend high-frequency response beyond what many standard fabric tweeters can achieve. This results in more detailed, crisp highs and lower distortion, even at higher volume levels.
