Anyone know what wood those speakers are in?
That is the first pair of PMC's that I actualy thought were beautiful! |

Out of curiosity, how many PMC fans have listened to ProAc speakers? If you did, what did you think was the biggest difference?

Main difference is : 1/ Bass extension 2/ Dynamics ! : I would add this : when you listen to PMC speakers, you fell like listening to ProAc speakers, but driven active. Imagine what active PMC speakers could sound like !

That was the review in Hi Fi Plus I was referring to. The magazine was purchased by The Absolute Sound about 18 months ago and it looks like they are going to put some of there reviews on the AV Guide site. That is good because to me that is the finest Hi Fi mag in the English language. They just changed Editors in the current issue from Roy Gregory, I hope they have not messed things up. He will still be doing reviews for them. |

"Installing the EB1i in place of the more expensive B&W 802D brought about a fairly big change in balance. Essentially the midrange seemed more prominent, a factor that had a dramatic effect on albums like Gillian Welch’s Time The Revelator. This recording has often hinted at a slight edginess but in the PMC’s hands became almost uncomfortable due to that exposure through the midband. Conversely material that had seemed a little dense or thick in the past opens up to reveal a wealth of detail and space, Fink’s Biscuits For Breakfast being a prime example. The title track was transformed into a far more revealing piece and his take on ‘All Cried Out’ seems far more cutting and powerful." |

I did not notice any midrange forwardness with the EB1i. I would be interested to hear Dan's opinion on that. I think this review is more concerning the electronics used. With Mc amps, there is an absolute synergy. I remember I listened to the SF Guarneri ( which you owned I think ) with Krell electronics. They were sounding harsh and abolutely not musical, which I know it's not the case. I have the same ears as Alberto. So if Alberto loves them, I should love them too. But in my opinion, they are not made for Krell. Did you give PMC speakers a listen ? Wilsons are great anyway...
