New PMC Twenty.26

it looks like an awesome speaker. will definitely audition it.

twenty.26 | PMC Loudspeakers

they are getting very good reviews from the UK from fellow PMC owners. Comments such as being better than the PB1i is an example of what has been said!

In the UK, 5,750 pounds.

PMC have removed the OB1i and PB1i from their website now as well....as of this week.

According to the Dallas distributor, retail in the US will be $10,250.

Here in Greece cost EURO 7500

I have bought myself a pair of PMC Twenty.26 speakers currently driven by Audia Flight 1 integrated and I am looking into an upgrade of my amplification system.

Firstly, I will buy a power amplifier and at a later stage a pre-amplifier.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

I don't mind if it will be a dual/mono amplifier or a monoblock design. What it must surely have is a very high dumping factor (above 300) and a high current output ( more than 20A continuous).

Any suggestions apart from Bryston (that I have already auditioned)?

Thank you!!!

Hi fragoulisnaval;645507,

Heard the PMC .26's recently with some higher-end naim electronics(NDS, 555PS, NAC252, SuperCap & NAP300).

Though articulate & coherent, at times to my ears they did betray a sense of dryness, not being quite as open & slightly more polite compared to the B&W802D's & Spendor D7's i also heard.

As it's been a while since your original post, not sure if you've found the power-amps to go with your PMC .26's yet.

If you're still looking i understand from PMC users among friends & on other forums you may find the better Electrocompaniet(AW250R stereo, AW180 mono or AW400 mono) & Primare power-amps(A32 stereo or A60 stereo) a decent match. And you can use balanced XLR cables with them too.

But, i believe that the Electrocompaniet AW400's have a power rating of: 400 W @ 8 Ohms/760 Watts @ 4 Ohms. And 150 Amps of peak current should be more than enough to keep your PMC's in check.

Don't mean to be s#&@ty, but i have to admit that i'm not 100% sure about their 'dumping factor.'

Even so. Be interested to know if you've heard them already &, if not, whether you would consider them.

Regards.

Babur.
