Perfect Stereo Image
Stereo is more than just volume differences between the left and right channels. Phase relations are paramount to determine the accurate position of a signal in the acoustic space " and hence equally important in the development of PSI Audio speakers. The accurate phase alignment provided by PSI Audio CPR technology recreates the vivid spatial listening experience as it was intended. Instrument placement, reverb envelopes, even compression artefacts are easy to identify with the phase-corrected reproduction of PSI Audio speakers.
Handmade tweeter
What do you do when you cannot find a driver appropriate for the sonic accuracy you want to achieve with your speaker At PSI Audio, we decided to just build our own then.
The tweeter used in the A17-M is unique, our own development and built by hand in our manufacture in Switzerland. Superior to any market-bought solutions, our tweeter offers unparalleled clarity, subtlety and fidelity. It took a lot of time and effort to create this tweeter " certainly a lot more than buying one from an international supplier would have.
But the result is absolutely worth it.

The are good!
I upgraded my Focal CMS 65 to these. I do some mixing, but often use my system for listening to classical, jazz, avant-garde, and a bit of metal. The A17 are very clear.
There is nothing in the sound that will blow you away, but they a very detailed and clean.
Read moreMy well recorded classical and jazz recordings sound awesome. Some of my rock recordings showed their dark muddy sound. In the classical recordings the instruments come alive with a clarity and sense of space in the sound field that make listening a joy! Details can be heard that previously I noticed only when using headphones.
I still use my Focal subwoofer. Going down to 43 hertz, these speakers go almost to the lowest note of a bass guitar. Having had a sub already, I would never go back to not using one. Highly recommended!

Le genre d'investissement que j'aurais aimé avoir fait depuis de nombreuses années
Ils donnent l'heure juste.
Après avoir passé les 10 dernières années avec des Adams A7, j'ai l'impression d'avoir de nouvelles oreilles.
Tout est bien représenté et je peux travailler de nombreuses heures sans ressentir de fatigue auditive.

Just Sound Right
I mix audio daily. I shortlisted and auditioned about a dozen pairs of pro quality speakers. What surprised me the most was how different each speaker sounded to my ears. The A17M, however, presents all of the information without prejudice. Transients are precise.
Read more Stereo imaging is absolutely accurate. These are the speakers that I want to hear music through. Thanks to Mario and the SE team for helping me make this critical decision.

Beautiful
Quelle clarté ...Je comprend mieux ma musique. D'ailleurs, ils sont très tres difficile à distorsioner
Surtout ne pas oubliez une bonne acoustique et vous aurez un bon son 3D. Les petites nuances d'enregistrement et les léger changement dans la compression,
Read moreeq et l'image stéréo sont facilement détectables.
Du classique à du electro, PSI répond bien a un très large spectre musicale.
Un vrai bijou pour du home studio.
