If they sound good, they sound good.

How do they sound at low listening levels?

Hi Paul







Hi Paul, I'd say they are good at low volumes. They do come alive at mid to high volumes though .

I saw a comment above saying they can be bright sounding, I'd agree with this if they are toed in toward the listening position.

I reckon my big marantz amps help tame any brightness too. The amps have a bit of warmth to them.

To the op, I'd suggest trying a pair in your room if you can As you can see from comments above speaker choice is a very personal thing

I agree. My mother owns a pair of them driven by a Rega Brio (she wanted remote control). Sources are a Regar Planar 3 and a Rega Apollo CDP, cables NVA LS1 I got for 20 Euros from Ebay Kleinanzeigen, interconnects coaxial RG179. I put the pimped AP20 (120VA) in her system yesterday to try the result: bombastic, big grin the face! I can't afford these speakers and if I could I wouldn't be willing to spent such lots of money for them and I'm happy with my Braun LS150 floor standers . But for small speakers the PMC are surprisingly good.
