Dont go in to listen with negative preconceptions. PMC is well respected in pro sound and domestic sound in the UK. I have the FB1 floorstanders I purchased from an audiogon member(by the way they feature a 6" woofernot 4.5"). They do reveal differences in supporting equipment to a relatively high degree. I have heard them sound very good using SS in a med-large room and surprisingly well in a small room driven by tubes. You can find lots of positive reviews, but you know how that can go...but I do like them very much myself. They can sound very good with the right partners, so keep an open mind.
PMC Speakers:"Best Buy"or just another speaker?
Anyone heard or owned PMC speakers, especially models GB-1 (Retail $2200) and FB-1 ($3300) I saw these recently in an audio shop but did not have time to listen to them. They use a transmission line enclosure which claims bass response to 29-28Hz. The FB-1 is a two way syatem with a 4.5 inch woofer. The next model has a bigger cabinet, is also a two way system which uses a 5.5 or 6 inch woofer. Both seem like a lot of money for a two way system whose major claim is deep bass. Need input and opinion about this product. Thank you, Jim
