morris_minor Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I've a pair of Gb1i speakers running off Graham Slee Proprius mono-blocks with Slee Spatia speaker cable and links. Awesome weight/slam and detail for their size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twwen2 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 In all its glory: I've quite enjoyed them actually. Slightly different presentation to the Dyns; a bit clearer through the midrange, definitely more detail up top and bass that extends deeper (but with less midbass "bounce"). I do like the "emotion" that the Dyns impart to the midrange however - the PMCs are slightly more honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-k-k-kenny Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I have a pair of very badly set up and fed (Sonos) TB2s in the kitchen which I expect will still be there in 20 years time. (Mine are domestic walnut, not like Blake's industrial ones) It's such an appalling room for slap echo that it's remarkable I can hear anything. But they give a good all round account of everything from hip hop to tango to the living tombstone that I no complain. I hanker for a pair of the MB2 family. But the house isn't big enough, fortunately for my wedded state. Heard 'em at the audio show a couple of years back and they punch in a good way. Should say I spose that I like transmission lines: the kid is minding a pair of TDL RTL3s for me, and always liked IMF too.

Blaine The Audioaddict Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Those in sydney whom maybe interested, got a pair of PMC TB2i up for sale here... love em to bits, but it's a Hi-Fi journey for me, wanna try something different. http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php?/topic/83154-pmc-tb2i-transmission-line-speakers-skylan-stands/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty74 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Blakey, Got a pair of PMC TB2i and I love 'em. PMC bass, due to transmission line, is unique - fast, tuneful, unforced, musical, uncongested, and can reach low. They have huge sound-stage when positioned proper, i.e. wide apart, just a little toe in, they disappear. Very musical, also find them natural sounding across the entire frequency range, little on the warmer side. They pair very well with the Luxman amp I have, actually it's a perfect match. Recently bi-wired them and found they improved. Blaine Do you Bi Wire your Lux using A+B speakers, I found this made a massive difference to the Kef R300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookies Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Twenty series is really amazing. When I was in Singapore (Adelphi Plaza), the salesman from the Focal store told me in his honest opinion, none of their Electra BE speakers could compete with the PMC Twenty line. I listened to a few and I had to agree. I do like them Utopia BEs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereophilus Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Here's my current set up. I had an issue with a loose binding post, so I had need to eviscerate the right speaker. Easy to fix fortunately, but also gave me an opportunity to photograph the crossover for anyone interested: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Finally got a good quality digital source for my PMC Twotwo 8's and the SQ is very good! Auralic Aries Mini into Singxer SU-1 then AES into the monitors. Using the PMC RC1 remote for volume control. Just got some great custom steel stands for them as well.

Antuan Phantom Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hello All, I am new to this forum. I would like to know where I can buy a pair of used but in excellent condition PMC mb2se speakers or the BB5 model? What is a fair price for these speakers? Also, what amp would be a good match for these speakers.? What is a fair price for the amp? Interested in hearing from people who have own these models and what amp and cable they used with these speakers. Like to know from owners what they think of the sound from these model speakers and how well it perform with your choosen amp? Also what is a good sub woofer for these speakers if one is needed? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieMick Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I spent a lovely day with them hooked up to a Rega Osiris amp. Brilliant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance. The Lifestyle Store have these models on sale, I reckon it'll be hard to find a used pair in Australia. Bryston amps would be a good match, considering they've paired them with their speakers for years. PMC have a bunch of active and passive subs on the website.

Thank you in advance. The MB2se's are a fairly expensive speaker. I got mine when the aussie dollar was high - paid $25k new. They now retail for around $35k I believe (the tyrrany of the AUD being much lower, and some inflation). Because of this, I dont think you're gonna find them under $18k second hand. If you can find any second hand at all that is. I really like my pair, and I'd assume most other owners are pretty happy with theirs too. Your best hope might be finding an ex-demo pair from a Hifi retailer. In regards to the best amps for the MB2se's and how they sound, I'll refer you this thread: We compared a few different amps on the day, and each have advantages/disadvantages. To get the most out of the bass, you probably need a solid state amp. And if you do that, you dont need a subwoofer imo. In regards to cables, I've tried quite a few as well. The Nordost cables were good, but the Argento Flow that I currently use are better than anything else I've previously heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
