PMC Owners your opinions

Just wondering what digital sources owners of PMC speakers are using when paired with Bryston amps.

I've read the threads on AudioCircle and some like how the DAC64 sounds, while some suggest Audio Aero Capitale would work well.

What do members here think.

I'm still looking into the speakers themselves with the OB1's and IB1's on my short list. I might be able to stretch for a used pair of IB2's. I was ready to jump on the pair of IB1's that came up but thought better of it.

I'm currently running a 4BSST and my CDP is a JoLida modded by underwood. I would like to add a tube pre amp with HT pass through much like the VTL 5.5.

Cheers

Thanks guys for the feedback.

You are very right about personal tastes and preferences. What works for you might not turn my crank. A poster on AudioCircle suggested the ML 390s did nothing for them but that a DAC64 worked well. I intend to audition as many as I can. One dealer has both PMC and Wadia and I'll see how that marriage works. For the time being here are The players I've been considering:


Audio Aero Capitale
ML 390s
Wadia 861
Ayre CX-7

Cheers

Howie,

First thanks for responding to my question. In all honesty the IB1's/IB2's would be to much speaker for my present location where the OB1's would fit in nicely. I know if I purchase the OB1's I would likely need to upgrade again as my space increases where if I went with the IB2's I'd have a speaker for life.

As you guessed I'm after a more refined sound than one analytical. If you can suggest to me players that are mid-priced then please do.

As for amps if I had the space I would've gone with 7BSST's instead of my current 4BSST but they are still in the back of my mind.

Cheers

As I said I would rather buy my speakers first. At first they would out class my present electronics greatly but would shine even more as I add better Amplification and Sources.

I plan to buy as much as possible used gear from here at the Gon and so would save money. Not sure what your finacial situation is but mine allows me a big purchase $5500.00 every year so buying speakers and new amps and CDP is not an option.
If I go with the IB2's I just might have to wait another year as to buying the OB1's outright.

All I can say is this will be one hell of a journey and that I will need lots of luck and prayers.

Cheers
