PMC owners at AA
 
Just curious folks,

How many PMC owners do we have at AA ?

Please state your model and the pairing amp/pre or integrated amplifier.
Do you plan to change your PMC speakers or do you believe that they are long term keepers ?

jdandy 10-09-2010 11:57 PM

Jérôme.......I own the PMC EB1i speakers, and I could not be happier with them. They are definately long term keepers. They are powered with C1000C/P and MC501 amplifiers.

streetspirit 10-10-2010 01:09 AM

TB2i my first ever speaker purchase, but most likely not my last... Paired with C500P, MC501 and MCD500.

KahunaCanuck 10-10-2010 01:47 PM

I use the DB1is in my office system with a Peachtree Decco and am very happy with them...plan to try further up the chain when I can. :thumbsup:

Jerome W 10-10-2010 02:33 PM

Thanks for you answers guys !!

Hey PMC owners, wake up !!
Chuck, Levi, Klipschfan....

Jerome W 10-11-2010 12:43 AM

Ok,
So it's too bad but the PMC forum is sleeping.....

two dot 10-11-2010 01:38 AM

Jerome,

I have a pair of TB2i's in my bedroom powered by a 47 Labs integrated amp.

Great little system. No plans to change or upgrade!

klipschfan 10-11-2010 09:05 AM

Currently have a pair of PMC AML2's and will soon have a pair of PMC TB2i Signature Edition.

Using McIntosh and Meridian gear.

Believe the AML2's will be long term keepers!...:thumbsup:

adol290 10-11-2010 10:32 AM

Currently have,

PMC EB1i's - Bryston 7B sst2 X 2
PMC IB2i Center - Bryston 7B sst2
PMC CB6i surrounds - Bryston 4B sst2

Would upgrade EB1i's if a new model came out that had the
same mid-range driver as the IB2i.

delp 10-11-2010 03:46 PM

FB1i Sigs
 
I have had my PMC FB1i Signatures for a week now. S/N 111;112. They replaced Gallo Ref 3.5 which did not click for me. The new Sig's are so much more involving.

My rig is all McIntosh: MC 402, C220, and MCD 301. All cables are Analysis-Plus Silver.

ian@pmc 10-11-2010 05:44 PM

Hey Dave, welcome to AA! I've been meaning to get your feedback on the Sigs... Sounds like they are working out for ya'.

Pyro 10-13-2010 10:01 PM

EB1i's powered by C1000/T and MC501's

CB6i and Ob1i's powered by MX150 and MC207

My PMC speakers are here to stay for the long term. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Rob.......I really admire your PMC set up. Would love to hear it.

Jerome W 10-14-2010 12:37 AM

Thanks for your answers guys.
Keep coming ! Many PMC owners are missing...

Levi 10-14-2010 08:26 AM

Love my PMC OB1i
 
Someone summoned me?

You know I love my PMC OB1i. I use a pair of Bryston 7B-SST mono blocks and a BAT VK-51SE tube preamp with it. I recently acquired a new tube dac with ESS chips by Eastern Electric and I think it is a great tube DAC for the money. However, It will not replace my Esoteric CD player.:thumbsup:

I will probably will not switch to different brand of speakers anymore. I am not getting any younger @40s, my hearing is not as good as when I was in the 20s or 30s. It is a fact of life that we all undergoes called primary aging. :no::yes: Don't worry guys, it is a gradual process that you will hardly accept. By age 65+, most of us will hardly be able to tell higher and softer notes anyway. So I am enjoying the bliss for now. :music:

Levi 10-14-2010 08:31 AM

Absent yes but does not mean I am not reading your posts. LOL! :)

+1 !

Viajero5000 10-14-2010 05:03 PM

PMC MB2 with PMC stands
Bryston 14B-SST2 (mid/tweeter)
Bryston 14B-ST (bass)
Bryston BP26
Bryston BCD-1
Bryston interconnects

Neutral and dynamic set-up with good clarity and detail. A bit lean overall - texture/body and overall smoothness of individual instruments could be improved (may be due to room acoustics?)

jdandy 10-14-2010 08:31 PM

Viajero5000.......Welcome to Audio Aficionado. :wave:

No doubt the PMC MB2 and Bryston bi-amp set up rocks the house.

gtubes 10-14-2010 09:50 PM

MB2's, my dream speakers, :thumbsup:

Bi-amping....:scratch2:

MC352 10-15-2010 02:46 PM

not yet, just switching between amps

Jerome W 10-15-2010 04:13 PM

So Chuck, do you prefer vanilla or chocolate ?

Yartle 10-23-2010 04:21 AM

Currently some GB1i’s, in about 4 weeks some tiger ebony Fact 8’s, getting quite excited now, deposit paid, order placed!

Yartle.......Welcome to Audio Aficionado. :wave:

Keep us posted on the new Fact 8 speakers. There is always interest in PMC speakers here. :thumbsup:

Yartle ... Welcome aboard!

jethro 11-09-2010 08:32 PM

So this is where the PMC owners went.

I have IB-1s and an IB1-center. I power the L&R with a Bryston 4B-SST and the center with a Bryston 4B-ST-Pro. I use my SP-1.7 as the pre-amp with it's built-in DAC and sometimes a bel Canto DAC-3 for 2 channel (Sp-1.7 in bypass).

I'm pretty happy with the IB-1's, especially when I play in 5.1 - the IB1-C nicely fills in the bass. I don't have much time to experiment anymore, but it would be interesting to try and make the IB1-C into a sub-woofer when listening to 2-channel using a cross-over.

Thanks Dan......should be interesting going from the 501s to the big Brystons :D

ian@pmc 11-10-2010 02:33 PM

Ahh, you took to the 28b's... That is a whole new level... You may quite possibly have the finest amps here on AA.
