Why choose bookshelf speakers?

Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers.

Our take on the PSB Image B4

by Kristen Schaub

Potent bookshelf speakers provide exceptional sound

When we heard these little gems demoed in our sizeable training room — and without a subwoofer — we were impressed by their wide soundstage, and by the overall sonic impact. Use a pair of B4s with your home office computer, send a pair off with the kids when they go to college, or mount four or more around your home theater room to get impressive surround sound. The Image line borrows from driver technologies developed for PSB's sophisticated Imagine family, as well as the top-tier Synchrony speakers, giving you high-end sound at a budget-friendly price. The Image line also features a slightly different cabinet design than its predecessors, showcasing clean lines that won't clutter up your listening room.

Image family

PSB's Image speaker family (Image B4 shown at far left)


Advanced drivers for clean, well-balanced sound

K2 Power crossover network

The tweeter uses a powerful neodymium magnet for crystal-clear highs.

The Image B4s each feature a 1" titanium dome tweeter that effortlessly dishes out smooth, uncolored highs. The long-excursion, high-output woofer uses the same proprietary ceramic-filled polypropylene cone as the Imagine line. The stiff, lightweight material helps it deliver midrange that's clean and balanced, with a sense of impact and immediacy. You'll also marvel at the detailed imaging, and wide soundstage produced by these compact speakers.


Sleek, thoughtful cabinet design

All Image speakers have heavy internal bracing and 1-1/8" thick MDF cabinets to ensure impressively solid, acoustically inert enclosures. The cabinets have a traditional look, but with slightly curved tops and fronts to soften it. This family of speakers also features attractive vinyl finishes, allowing the Image speakers to easily integrate into just about any décor.

    Specifications

    Driver Technology

    Cone Design: The woofer cones are clay/ceramic filled polypropylene to optimize the combination of stiffness, internal damping, and low mass. The woofers' magnetically neutral polycarbonate basket contributes additional stiffness.

    Tweeter: The 1" titanium dome, Ferrofluid cooled tweeters use a neodymium magnet structure to help extend the frequency response at both ends for effortless, airy top octaves and smooth, uncolored response.

    Crossover Network: The crossover is a 2-way acoustical fourth order Linkwitz-Riley type with a 24 dB/octave slope. The tweeter and woofer are crossed over at 2,200 Hz.

    Connections

    Binding Posts: The binding post input terminal is located on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet. The binding post will accept spade connectors, single banana plugs, pin connectors, and bare wire up to 8 gauge.

    PSB Image B4 speakers

    Good Little Speakers

    Written By James, Elizabeth City, NC on Thursday, May 23, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased these speakers to be the main voice to a 2.1 home theater system. They are powered by a Teac AH01 integrated amplifier and are accompanied by a Polk PSW 404 10" sub. After listening to this system for about a month, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. It is true that 4" speakers do not play very low frequencies, so I do not consider them as full range speakers and highly recommend using a subwoofer to provide the bass. It is also true that the tonal balance is spectacular. The Teac does not have any tone controls what so ever, and I still greatly appreciate the timbre whenever I listen to music or watch a movie. I highly recommend these speakers for anyone that is in the market for a physically understated audio system that manages to deliver quality sound reproduction.

    Good, with some reservations

    Written By Joe, Connecticut on Sunday, January 27, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased these for use in a 2.0 bookshelf setup. If that is what you are using them for, either get a sub in addition or get the Image B5s or the Imagine Minis. The bass from the B4s is limited by the design and size. Other than that, these are exceptionally clear and detailed, and have amazing timbre in the middle region. The treble is somewhat rolled off, so consider an amplifier with tone adjusment.
    Pros:
    Size, clarity and detail, amazing mids
    Cons:
    Bass is tight but lacking in the lower regions Treble is rolled off

    Do yourself a favor and grab some PSB's

    Written By Mike Hunt, Ocracoke Island on Tuesday, December 04, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    They may be deemed small by some but definitely large sounding! They are the perfect size for my medium/large living room. They blend nicely into the decor and sit atop my piano under the flat screen. I did not want big bulky speakers but I definitely wanted a speaker that would impress friends and make a very enjoyable listening experience for all. THEY DO THIS WITH EASE! I am using them in a 2.1 system right now and they work great for music with the frequent cocktail parties I have at my house. Most of my friends are Bose fans but when they hear these speakers they realize the error of there ways. No comparison. PSB will be in every listening room in my house soon enough. Also I am going to get some out door speakers from PSB for my 3 decks around the house. Super Pleased!!! I am so glad I ran across a company that commits itself to true sound reproduction but makes it reasonably affordable for the audiophile on a budget. These make a great 5.1 set up with the Image C4 as center.
    Pros:
    Large enough to accurately reproduce every detail. Small enough to blend in and keep the peace with my better half. Great 2.1, 3.1 or 5.1. Very solid design, build quality is very high and arrived quick from Crutchfield.
    Cons:
    None. Buy these :)

    PSB-4 your room

    Written By TomM, Issaquah, WA on Thursday, January 12, 2012
     
    I have them in my bedroom that is about 15'wide by 22' long. The sound fills up the room. You will need a sub woofer to take the 20 - 150 range, but the speakers cover the remainder of the range surprisingly well. I would recommend these for simple low cost speakers.
    Pros:
    Good sound for a small speaker.
    Cons:
    Could use a little more ummmph in them. I use a subwoofer that really fills in the low end and with that they are really good.

    Excellent Sound For Their Size

    Written By BobS, Seattle, WA on Thursday, August 26, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Getting high quality sound over a wide frequency range from small speakers is a challenge. These speakers meet that challenge. They are small enough to satisfy even the most particular decorator, as well as being handsome. The sound imaging is very good. Other than a slight "boominess" sometimes noticeable in the middle bass notes of piano recordings, the frequency response sounds impressively even and natural. These speakers are excellent for most of the kinds of music I listen to - chamber , folk, jazz and swing - and adequate for large symphonic pieces.
