PMC versus Wilson Audio

I don't know.  I've only heard the PMC MB2 SE, and that was at audio shows.

Dear @twochannelaudiophile: Both seems as very good performers and at this levels we have to analize very carefully each speaker characteristics.

I never heard the PCM but I heard the Alexia and some other of the WA speakers.

By characteristics I definitively stay with the Alexia2 because the PCM woofer croosover at very high level: 380hz and this means that those woofers that goes really down in the bass range has high excurtions in that low bass range and these excurtions develops very high IMD that affects not only the frequencies  to 380hz ( as a fact those woofers are handling at least to audible 450 hz. ) but all over the speaker frequency range because at each discrete woofer bass frequency are developed its harmonics that came with that kind of added distortions putting " dirty " to the overall frequency range including the high frequencies.

You have to imagine that the excurtions/movements of those woofers to develops 25hz that same woofer at the same time is developing critical frequencies at 100-150-200hz and in between, the IMD is to high and we can hear it.

In the other side and at least in that crossover woofer regards the Alexia 2 crossover at 200hz with a lot lower speaker IMD and this too we can hear it.
Wilson Audio has a very high quality design and excecution:

The subject here is not if we like more the PCM but wich one can be truer to the recording, which one affects the less the signal reproduction.

If you really want it the PCM sound signature my adive is to go for its monitor alog a pair of self powered subwoofers, these are the monitors:

@usherzaleg I have only heard the Fenestria, but judging from the conversation with the reps, they are close. I would imagine the Fenestria edges out the MB2, it's been in development for 5 years and has some pretty state of the art tech. I was just stunned by how much better it was from pretty much everything else I've heard recently, that includes the Focal Utopia, B&W 802 D3s and Wilson Alexia 2s.

I do not have much experience with PMC. I however do Love the Wilson Audio Alexia Series 2. They're an amazing speaker. I have installed a few pair.
I have 1 pair in stock store Demo in Porsche GT Silver immaculate pair. We are restructuring our store. These are priced to sell.
sunnyaudiovideo.com 626-966-6259.
Also have Alexx, XLF yvette, Duette 2 and more.

I think krell is not good amplification choice for Wilson. It is not the same league.
