Thoughts On The PMC OB1?

Quest for a floorstander in the sub 10K range continues. Can owners or those who have experience with the PMC OB1 weigh in on this speaker. It would seem to have much going for it--British studio monitor heritage, tranmission line bass, a fabric dome midrange like the ATC, slim profile, good looks. I'd be interested in your impressions of how they sound, what folks are using to drive them, etc. Thanks for your help.

I thought you really like the Wilson Sophia. Are you still considering them?

Kw6. I do like the Sophia--very much. However, while I find it very attractive, my wife does not. It really is a bit large and too modern looking for our living room. It is also a bit beyond what I would like to pay. If I had a dedicated room and a few more dollars it would be near the top of my list. I've gotten the list down to the Proac D25 or D38, the Fried Studio 7, and the Vandersteen Quatro. I just ran across some reviews of the PMC OB1 and wondered if all the accolades are justified. Do you know the speaker?

outstanding speakers in terms of performance. However, I won't spend 10K for such an ugly box.
