PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?

My PMC Fb1i Signatures sound great. Considered Salk at the time, but the engineering behind the PMC's - a correctly designed transmission line enclosure - was obvioulsy beyond Salk's capabilities, which seem to be focused more on parts quality and lovely boxes.

Beyond Salk's capabilities? Baloney!! Jim Salk is a recording engineer and Dennis Murphy is an electrical engineer designer of crossover networks for many years. Salk speakers are also transmission line designs fine tuned
to exact mathematical standards by long time transmission line experts Paul Kittinger and Martin King. Paul is in partnership with another speaker company, Philharmonic Audio. You were saying?...

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 have owned three pairs, and bought all either used or at "sale" prices and think they sound fantastic. I have auditioned several other brands that have a great reputation that might have better so called drivers/crossovers that I didn't like nearly as well.

So, I guess at the end of the day, it's all about what sounds good to your ears, marketing and opinions not withstanding.

Bose has an even bigger following than Salk. What's your point?

Fuses? Please! What tiny shred of credibility you may have had just "blew."

And Salk uses the 70-20XR OEM tweeter, not the 70-10D.

Don't get me wrong here. I was present at one of Jim's first public appearances with his first 2-way at an event in Iowa. Gorgeous looks and sound. His stuff can run with most anything out there. There's no doubt that Jim offers a great value for the audiophile. And his finishes are really top notch.

You are correct..I just spoke to Jim Salk and he is using the 70-20 ribbon with a modified core. My eyes tricked me. Regarding Bose..are you kidding me? Bose speakers are not high end. Make good radios. Amar Bose filed a lawsuit in 1968 in a New York court against High Fidelity Magazine for a very bad review of the original 901 speaker which was a piece of crap. No copper voice coil over a coil form. Just a long hollow aluminum tube connected to each driver that acted as a capacitor for the driver. Now thats cheap!! Bose is not, and never has been a high end speaker in the Audiophile world. Not unless your stupid and gullible. Bose is for housewives. And your not aware of the major performance differences switching out fuses in amps and preamps? That is common knowledge among Audiophiles for years.
