Default Pmc 24

I decided to bring in a pair of the new PMC twenty series speakers....I choose the 24 in Amerone finish, I'm putting together a nice simple tube system and will be pairing them with Manley Labs Snapper Mono Blocks, Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp Preamp, Manley Labs all new tube phono stage which isn't announce yet but ships next month....its called the Chinook, I'm really excited about this one and most likely a Clearaudio Ovation table....not sure about a cd player yet.....power conditioning will be RSA and still deciding on cables.....should make for a fun system that doesn't break the bank!

Jeff, I heard the 24 in Paris and I proudly own the fabulous Snappers.
This should be a killer combo !! You're obviously a very wise dealer !

Seems like a smokin' deal.

Especially for a speaker that will go down to 28 Hz.

Must be that transmission line bass thing goin' on.

Jeff, can you explain how PMC can get 28Hz from a single 6.5" mid/woofer without a big roll off?

PMC speakers go very low.
That is their "signature" along with wonderfully natural and weighty sounding mids.
Treble is great too but PMC's strengths are in the bass and the mids.

I never heard the OB1i but owning the EB1i and having heard the 24, I think that they must sound close to the OB1i no ?
They sounded like little EB1i to me.
