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.
My path to the twenty.24's is largely documented here. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/quot-forward-vs-quot-laid-back-quot-speakers Currently being drive by Cronus Magnum II. They "come alive" a good deal more with the CMII than with the Ayre AX-7 that I previously had on them. |
PMC and Focal have very different presentations. As a PMC owner, you'll understand that I prefer its sound profile. I was able to audition twenty.23, Focal, and twenty.24 on same day/consecutive days. There's a strong family resemblance between 23 and 24, obviously w.r.t. a few extra db of bass. I agree that list price imported from Britain they don't represent great value for money. But things change radically when you look on the used market, where I think they become much more competitive. As always, basic advice is audition before you buy. |
On that same auditioning binge, I also listened to some Facts (I forget which model, not the biggest floorstander). I liked it too, but thought it perhaps a little more strictly neutral in presentation, whereas the twenty's just had a hint of warmth that most CDs benefit from (at least to my ears). The fact (no pun) that the twenty's are less expensive than the Facts didn't hurt either. |
