I will agree with you on one point, I would not pay $15k for the EB1i (or any other speaker). I paid less than 1/3 of that amount for my OB1i and have essentially the same performance down to the 30-35Hz range. Since I do not have a large listening room, do not listen at high SPLs, and never listen to pipe organ music in particular, I am most satisfied. Last edited by BuffaloBill; 01-29-2010 at 11:11 AM. |

At $20,000+ a pair new, with discounted pricing around $15,000, Harman International isn't exactly giving away the Revel Ultima Salon 2, either. I have listened to the Revel Ultima Salon 2, as well as the Studio 2, and thought they sounded very good. Ok, you get six speakers in a wooden box with lots of rounded shapes and dimples, all metal drivers, a 4-way crossover, and a cute little terminal compartment with a cover. Is that worth $20K? You can rationalize that answer, because you bought them. I am not defending anything. I am addressing your comments. I simply made a statement that I am happy with my speaker purchase, and believe its value, performace, and quality are worth the price, and believe the PMC EB1i's outperform many other speakers costing considerably more. I have no problem if you don't agree with my evaluation. By the way, I already feed several villages of people I don't know. It's called federal income tax. If you wish to make additional contributions, please be my guest.

On that we can agree, not to mention the high property taxes here in Texas. No wonder Governor Rick Perry has been able to balance the state budget.

Chuck.......Exactly. I believe I made that point earlier, but it disappeared like water through a sieve.

By courtesy to other decent speaker makers, I will not give any more example, as I gave many in the past, but I too consider the EB1i to be better than speakers costing a LOT MORE money. Their dress is very common for sure, but their sound is a never - ending amazing experience. That's the kind of lady nobody will notice when she's in the street. But in the bedroom, she is the sweetest wonder in the world !

my EB1i are totally flat. Especially since the 2301's replaced the 501's...
