Alpha AM5 Powered Bookshelf Speakers

Rich, powerful stereo sound for vinyl, music streaming, and more.

The Alpha AM5 is a powered two-speaker stereo system that will revolutionize your traditional home audio experience. Featuring trickle-down acoustic technology from PSB’s most iconic speaker designs, the AM5 powered speaker includes a custom designed driver set with a ¾” aluminium ferrofluid-cooled tweeter and a 5 ¼” midbass woofer that together deliver a rich and detailed full-range sound. You can listen to favourites on vinyl with a built-in phono preamp, or stream music and playlists with high-quality Qualcomm aptX Bluetooth. It’s PSB legendary sound, for everything you listen to and enjoy.

Behind the Alpha Series

First designed and manufactured in a small Canadian town in 1991, the Alpha Series started with the simple idea of creating affordable speakers that were focused purely on performance. With passion and dedication in pursuit of a natural sounding speaker, and by leveraging almost 50 years of research conducted at the Canadian National Research Council, the Alphas are known as one of the world’s most iconic speakers and are still the reference benchmark for entry-level hi-fi speakers today.

Matched components, unmatched performance

Leveraging amplification expertise from our sister brands provided the PSB design team the considerable advantage of designing a speaker for a known amplifier. By adding the power of digital signal processing, frequency response, bass extension and output are optimized to a remarkable level of performance. Very few powered speakers share intellectual resources of this magnitude, making the Alpha AM5 a standout in the crowd of powered speakers. A renowned amplifier company and speaker company perfecting the powered speaker is truly a match made in acoustic heaven.

Flexible and convenient

Just like its smaller brother, the AM3, these powered bookshelf speakers are effortless to set up and use. There’s no amplifier to hook up or apps to download. Streaming your favourite music from your devices is easy thanks to aptX Bluetooth – simply pair and play. Enjoy connecting them to your computer or TV for clear, natural sound. The AM5 even features several sound modes, allowing you to accentuate dialogue, soundstage and more. Vinyl lovers will appreciate the dedicated RCA phono input. Where desired, use the sub output to add a subwoofer for even deeper bass.

Simple, timeless design

Featuring acoustically transparent detachable magnetic grilles in a choice of matte black or matte white finish, the AM5 offers a simple and timeless design that seamlessly blends into any décor. The elegant cabinet design lends itself to a wide variety of placement options, from desktop to bookshelf, or even stand mount.

Why Choose PSB

PSB Speakers is a Canadian loudspeaker manufacturer founded by legendary designer Paul Barton, whose work has long focused on combining scientific acoustic research with natural and highly approachable musical performance. Developed alongside extensive listening research conducted through Canada’s National Research Council, PSB products are engineered around the idea that loudspeakers should reproduce music with tonal accuracy, balance, and long-term listenability across real-world listening environments.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, PSB occupies a particularly interesting space within the market because the range combines excellent engineering, practical usability, and strong value while remaining less commonly encountered than many mainstream loudspeaker brands. The result is a lineup that often surprises customers with just how refined, flexible, and musically satisfying the products are at their respective price points.

Signature Design and Sound

PSB products are known for their balanced and easy-to-live-with presentation. Rather than sounding exaggerated or overly analytical, the speakers tend to focus on tonal coherence, natural vocals, controlled bass performance, and broad compatibility across different amplifiers, rooms, and listening styles.

One of the standout areas within the range is the PSB Alpha iQ active streaming speaker system. Incorporating integrated amplification together with the excellent BluOS streaming platform, the Alpha iQ delivers a highly modern and remarkably complete Hi-Fi solution with minimal system complexity. For customers wanting genuine stereo performance without the need for multiple separate components, the Alpha iQ has become one of the most compelling compact streaming systems currently available.

PSB’s AM Series active speakers also offer a highly practical and musically engaging approach to modern desktop and compact Hi-Fi listening. Combining active amplification with strong tonal balance and excellent usability, they work beautifully within home offices, smaller rooms, and lifestyle-oriented listening spaces while still maintaining genuine stereo credibility.

The range also extends into architectural speakers, including in-wall and in-ceiling models designed for discreet distributed audio and home theatre integration, together with heritage-inspired passive speakers such as the Passif 50, which offers a modern interpretation of classic monitor-style loudspeaker design.

PSB Product Range

The PSB range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes active streaming loudspeakers, powered desktop speakers, passive loudspeakers, architectural audio solutions, and wireless headphone products designed for both home and travel use.

The Alpha iQ and AM Series in particular represent excellent opportunities for customers seeking high-quality sound with minimal complexity, while the Passif 50 appeals strongly to listeners who appreciate classic loudspeaker proportions and a more traditional stereo presentation.

PSB’s wireless noise-cancelling headphones also remain highly practical for travel, particularly due to their use of replaceable AA battery operation rather than fixed internal rechargeable batteries. For many travellers and long-term owners, this offers a level of convenience and longevity that is becoming increasingly rare within modern portable audio products.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced system setup team provide assistance with streaming integration, speaker matching, architectural audio planning, and complete system optimisation to ensure PSB products perform at their full potential within each customer’s listening environment.
