PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands?

i've heard both and agree with shadorne. the vienna is nice sounding and beautifully built and finished, but too laid back and reserved (mellow?) for my taste. the psb synch, on the other hand, is terrific--detailed, rich and dynamic sounding, big soundstage--among the best i've ever heard in the $2k range. needless to say, these are purely subjective judgments and your tastes may vary.

The PSB Sync one is USD 5K for a pair not 2K

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.
