Building on over 40 years of experience and continuous development, the A17-M is the definitive nearfield monitor. Assess your work comprehensively without a subwoofer – or enhance the A17-M with a Sub A125-M, for example. Whatever story you need to tell, the A17-M helps you get your message across – a friend you should definitely listen to.

“Performance far higher than similar sized monitors – tonally extremely accurate and neutral. These speakers are extraordinary and deliver a level of performance and accuracy that vanishingly few two‑way designs can match, and which would shame a great many three‑way offerings. Auditioning is highly recommended for serious high‑end monitoring applications.”
Hugh Robjohns, Sound on Sound UK
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.

Extend the low frequencies and add power
Use one of PSI Audio’s Subwoofer / LFE to add more energy and low end to your A17-M:
– Our compact Sub A125-M
or
– our full range Sub A225-M
Thanks to our Roll-Off technology, both Sub A125-M & Sub A225-M are designed to perfectly match the A17-M.
