Transworld Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hi guys! Does any bros out there owned PMC spks? I very interested in upgrading to it. Can the owners give comments of their spks, thanks! Do they really have the ten tonne drum? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladrags Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Do a search on the web for reviews. I almost bought them. Good bass and very fast and accurate. Excellent for rock music. I didn't like them used with the Brystons. Found the Bryston-PMC combo too clinical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentgh Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I hv own a FB-1. Yes the bass is very good for its slim design (transmission line) but some ppl may not like the highs from this spk. If it doesn't match well it may sound hard. Hv got a chance to spoke to the designer during one of the SAVE and they hv told me to try play around with the positioning of the spk to tame the highs. He recommended me to tilt the spks in-wards a bit so that the spk axis meets just behind the sweet spot. Give it a listen. Bring ur amp along to the showrm if u want to as it will be even better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultone Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Anyone? I have on there way a pair of PMC TB2's, just wondering what others are using as a source and amplification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 They are a great looking speaker. I had never heard of them before but found their website. Here's the link BTW. http://www.pmc-speakers.com/product.php?mode=view&pid=171 They appear to be fairly easy to drive so you should have a good number of amps to choose from. I like pommy speakers, they often have a good clean sound with great definition, and I would say these would fit that bill. Interesting to see a standmount transmission line too. Look forward to hearing what you think when you get them AIA. I presume there is a distributor in Australian then? Cheers, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodN Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I demoed PMC extensively, beautiful sound that's for sure. Probably the best I've heard from a bookshelf for a long while.

Soultone Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Which ones were you looking at Rod? Jake,There is an Aus distro, you can get them at CAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think Bryston is the amplification most commonly paired with PMC. Not cheap though, maybe you can pick-up something second hand. AIA did you get yours from CAV< and they ordered them from PMC or did you go to a UK supplier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultone Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 At CAV they are $2500 a pair, I got them from the UK for under a $1k AUD shipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultone Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well they arrived today with some minor "in transit" damage luckily it is only minor cosmetics that can be fixed. So after hooking them up all I can say is WOW! Easily the best speaker I have ever owned and I think that if I ever upgrade again it would be to another PMC. I am in love. Perfect mid range, silky smooth vocals and no sweet spot. No matter where you are it is pure heaven. I can not recommend these enough, Although upset at the initial learning of the damage to the rear corner I have no regrets in this purchase. I will however suggest that if getting speakers shipped from OS, make sure they are double boxed and that you get insurance on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 AiA: $1k AUD for a pair of PMC TB2s ? Where they brand new ? Could you give me details of the seller ? Also, is there anyone in MEL s.e. suburbs that could let me listen to them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultone Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Ebay is where I got mine. CAV had a display pair for $1500 but they are gone already also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Unfortunately this week I wan't in MEL. I believe CAV it's the only place that sells PMCs in MEL. Bad luck, I'll have to wait for another 3-4 yrs...Hey AiA, come on, upgrade and sell me yours ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ok, sure. If I can find these PMC ib2I will, There was a pair on eBay last year from a mastering studio in Melbourne, also the Bryston amp they ran them with. I was soooo tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiobugged Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 hmm, this feels suspiciously like you're the one who grabbed the gb2's off ebay recently? Am i correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiobugged Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 yer lucky bugger - I was thinking the same thing myself... Pity i don't have the room for another set of speakers (esp. floorstanders) otherwise i would have had a go myself... AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultone Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Got them for $1035 inc shipping from Canberra. This could mean that the TB2's could be up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
