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?

IMO: As far as quality of parts in Salk crossovers, he uses whatever it takes to satisfy his customers. If the customer desires different/better parts than his standard crossover he will accommodate them with anything they want, the sky's the limit. At some point he will tell them they're wasting their money though.
My opinion; whatever floats your boat. If you like PMC, great, I have no problem with that. If you like Salk, that's fine too. What's the problem here? No need to start hating on each other.
In response to Norton’s post of 04/03/2013, better late than never:

" Whether he’s a shill or not, I don’t know, but I have never heard any Salk speakers so can’t comment on them, PMC is another matter."

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by a "shill" but I consider this statement to be an insult. He has been in business for many years and has a very happy client base.
You post a negative opinion about Jim and his speakers without ever meeting him or hearing his speakers?
That’s nothing short of ludicrous and I think an apology is on order.
