thread for PMC owners

I'd love to hear from other PMC owners. Twenty series, Twenty5, Fact, etc.

What model do you have?

What amp are you driving it with?

How are the speakers positioned within the room (space from front and side walls, etc.)?

What other brands/models did you audition before settling on PMC?

Any other tips or comments.

Not your usual run of the mill. However I would be concerned with this model if you listen sometimes at live loud levels. The tweeter is crossed over at 1.8Khz and that means it will sound wonderful but it will work quite hard (big excursion). Energy Pro 22 used a very similar design in 1982 and that was a great sounding speaker (reference for CBC) but often had blown tweeters.

PMC three way design with their Volt 3 inch dome is very similar to ATC three ways. The Volt dome is a clone of the ATC mid range but with a less powerful motor and less useable bandwidth than ATC. The Volt dome has an Fs of 400Hz and useable bandwidth from 500-4000 Hz compared to ATC with Fs of 250Hz with useable bandwidth of 400-4000Hz. Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery. The PMC IB2S sounds great and is used in many studios and by many artists.
