PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?


PMC speakers out of England have come on like a freight train in recent years including being awarded an Emmy for outstanding performance as speakers in mixing sound tracks for top motion pictures. Their high end home line of speakers always get good reviews but their prices seem very high compared to other speakers. Salk appears to make great speakers at much lower prices. For example, the Salk Veracity HT3 costs $6K and the PMC PB1i cost $14K. Has anyone compared these brands and which do you think is better?

Are you kidding me ? I have had and sold many Speakers in my day
And Solen capacitors Suck,as well as the white ceramic resistors gritty not refined at all. Look at Magico,or YG Mundorf Capacitors,and resistors as well as inductors. You donot skimp if sonic purity is important to you.
The other parts are decent. Personally if you want top value for a Boutique company ,considered one of the best designers in the industry
Bamburger loudspeakers have designed for Svs,Sonus Faber,Thiel
And a bunch of others including Salk when they were starting out.
PMC make some good speakers but lacking at premium parts.
Parts like the worlds best Duelund resistors, and capacitors Mundorf makes good Xover products, clarity MR, Jupiter Ht all top shelf quality parts.I was just trying to point out besides the drivers ,the Xover is th Brain ,
Tuning,as well as quality drivers and cabinet will determine how pure and clean The music is ,as long as th cables, and electronics are of good quality.
