Customer Review Summary
The PSI Audio A17-M Metal Black monitors are designed for close-field use and truly excel in this capacity. Their sound quality is exemplary; everything about the audio is spot on, and despite initial concerns about the price, the performance justifies the investment. These monitors are incredibly fast and precise, avoiding the dullness often associated with other neutral-sounding speakers I’ve tried, like the Neumann models.
The instrument placement is notably more precise than with DSP systems, making the A17-M stand out in terms of soundstage. The overall sonic character is rich in subtlety, power, and musicality, placing them firmly in the top tier of studio monitors. In a well-optimised small room, they deliver an extraordinarily luxurious listening experience that makes both mixing and enjoying music a real pleasure.
The 3D imaging is exceptional, with a punchy and clean sound, making them ideal for smaller spaces. Although I hesitated before purchasing, it has proved to be a worthwhile decision, particularly for the calm sound and razor-sharp signal localisation they provide. This ease of use enhances both the working and listening experience tremendously. The build quality is also commendable, delivering good stereo imaging and an analytical approach to mids and highs.
