PMC speakers?

Hey Y'all,

Thank you for the input folks. I was considering a Home theater set up consisting of a set of OB1s as the mains, TB2s for the rears and the CB6 for the center. I would keep my current subs, two Rel Strata IIIs, until I see if I would need to move up the Rel line to get a sub that goes lower. I understand that the PMC speakers put out some very good and deep bass but I will not have an H/T set up without a sub. I may not need a sub for music with the PMCs but for movies, I will definitly use them. Thanks again for your input and please keep'em comming.......John

I auditoned the FB1, TB2 and CC6.
I actually thought the TB2 sounded better than the FB1. Odd.
I would just save the $ and the TB2 rather than the FB1. I wouldnt even consider the DB1 or FB1 because of the price since DB1 just slightly cheaper than the TB2 and the FB1 was double the pice of the TB2.

I am sure the OB1, CC6 & TB2 combo would be great.

It's great. Also, I would like to hear from anyone that owns them or has auditioned them and what you think of them

I use 5 TB2's for the front left / right / left surround / right surround / centre

I use 2 TB1's (the almost identical predecessor to the TB2) for the rear surrounds.

Like a previous poster, I prefer the TB-2 over the FB1. I found the FB1's on the costly side compared to the TB2's. I went with the TB2s because of this and that the TB-2c (centre) is pretty much identical to the TB2

What I like about the PMC's is that they use the exact driver complement for their centres. With the exception of the CC6 / OB1 combo, the matching centre channels even use the same size cabinets in addition to the same drivers and number of them.

Having listened to the IB1's what struck me was the midrange, it was so open and detailed and does not get compressed at high volumes.

Lastly, if you want to save some $, get the studio finish. This would fit perfectly in a HT because it is flat black. The studio finish is only available on the Pro models and not on the home specific models (FB1, OB6, CC6, GB1)

Hey Y'all,

Eric, that sounds like a nice idea except I put great emphasis on the 2 channel music performance of my system. Thus, I think I would be better served by having a larger, full range, as the main speakers. As I mentioned above, I would keep my subs but I may not have to use them for music if I have, say, the OB1s as the mains. But that I will have to listen to first before I can make that decision. Thanks for the suggestion though. Is there anyone else that has experience with the speakers I've mentioned? I would also like someone to describe the sound character of these speakers. Are they forward, laid back, neutral? Thanks.......John
