Hi - first post here.

I've had a set of PMC OB1 speakers for about a year now - got a good deal on a used pair, and then matched them with a brand-new CB6i centre channel. Man, they were a big improvement over the previous Linn ninka speakers I had.

Right now, I'm bi-amping the OB1's with four channels of a Linn 5125 5-channel amp (5x125W at 8 ohms), and am using the fifth channel for the centre. So far, it sounds pretty good - no lack of dynamic expression.

Two things I'd be curious about, both related to this thread...
1. For those that have done it, what sonic improvements did you get when you moved (if you've moved) to a bigger amp - like a Bryston 4B (or 6B three-channel version)?

2. What sub(s) have you found that work well with the OB1(i)? Right now, my Sizmik 10.25 doesn't really go much deeper than the main speakers - even though it nicely fills out the bottom octave. I'm guessing the standard Velodyne/JL audio products will match, but has anyone tried REL or other versions?

Many thanks,
JBC
