I suspect you're right Paul looking at the photo.
I'm very much looking forward to the next Pmc owners club meet to hear them for myself.
By the way do you have any idea on the date for that yet as I have a couple of busy weekend's in April and I already have my fingers crossed that they won't clash?
I'm hoping to pin PMC down to date this week, it certainly won't be the Easter weekend which is over the weekend of April 20th so hopefully we can arrange it for before then, can't wait really as the 1st meet was great fun with a great turnout, I'll see if I can arrange some more goodies like we had last year
On a personal note, I'm running OB1i's at home at the moment with a Bryston B135 SST2 for 2ch duties and I was thinking of going with a pair of Fact.8's in the longer term, whilst I save up for some Fact.12's
so I'm really keen to hear the 26's for myself as the Fact.8 v Twenty.26 is going to be a fascinating comparison, I'm guessing that the 8's will be more detailed and faster, which I really love tbh, but I can see that the 26's will be a fuller sound with more bass weight and a bigger soundstage, its certainly not going to be an easy decision.
Had a listen to these today and loved them but was surprised by the price. These are obviously a twenty series speaker. When I walked in they were playing one of my favorite tracks and the tonal balance reminded me of my old 23s. As I listened more they just did everything that the twenty series does, but that little bit better. PMC had them playing in a pretty big room and they certainly filled it. Stunning soundstage with no boxiness and a slightly more powerful sound than the rest of the twenty series range, but still with that lovely detailed yet smooth high end. A real joy to listen too. As I say though I was surprised by the price which puts them right up with the Fact 8 at around £5300.
Thanks for your feedback Richy, as you know I love the 23's, for me they are the star of the due to size, price, and performance so it is good that you could hear the twenty sound carried over to the 26's.
I think the price is going to be an interesting one, as I was told originally that they were going to be nearer £6K so definitely going head to head with the 8's, if they are going to be £5300 then that makes them even more appealing, I know that pricing can be a very contentious issue but I guess these are going to be a clear step up from the OB1i, I'm so used to the Twenty sound now that I do find the OB's now lacking in top end detail, so they are not really an OB replacement and from what I've been told they will even be an upgrade for the PB1i so if they are to be £5-6k then I guess that isn't too bad really.
Still can't wait to hear them though, just got too much on today unfortunately to make the trip to Bristol.
Cheers,
