thread for PMC owners

PMC and Focal have very different presentations.  As a PMC owner, you'll understand that I prefer its sound profile.  I was able to audition twenty.23, Focal, and twenty.24 on same day/consecutive days.  There's a strong family resemblance between 23 and 24, obviously w.r.t. a few extra db of bass.  I agree that list price imported from Britain they don't represent great value for money.  But things change radically when you look on the used market, where I think they become much more competitive.  As always, basic advice is audition before you buy.

Yes. Thanks for the advice I will audition both of them tonight.

Focal are nice too. A bit splashy with their tweeters. PMC is more of a British sound (great mids).

I have fact.8s in my bedroom system and they are really nice.  They are not the last word in bass response, but they go deep enough for my needs and, as shadorne says, mids and highs are great. 

On that same auditioning binge, I also listened to some Facts (I forget which model, not the biggest floorstander).  I liked it too, but thought it perhaps a little more strictly neutral in presentation, whereas the twenty's just had a hint of warmth that most CDs benefit from (at least to my ears).  The fact (no pun) that the twenty's are less expensive than the Facts didn't hurt either.
