Brian.......Thanks for the link. I'd say Dave liked them. It's not hard to figure out why. PMC makes amazing sounding speakers. I am still thoroughly impressed with the wonderful sound that flows from my PMC EB1i speakers.

Brian, thanks for the post. I was suppose to go listen to these a while ago, and never made it. Someday.

Chuck, these are like an OB1i on steroids. You will be pleasantly surprised when you finally get the chance.

The PB1i are a very nice looking pair of speakers.
Love that finish!
Looks like a relatively small footprint, yet big sound
And killer BASS!!!

I really need to audition PMC speakers someday .......

The problem (or not) is that the Sonus Faber sound is burned in my brain - and the dopamine flows every time I fire up the system. To paraphrase the reviewer, I fall into the " beauty" side of the truth vs beauty equation.

Well, I've stood them next to the Amatti Anniversario, and the results were shocking.
