PMC versus Wilson Audio

I thougt WILSON use FOCAL  tweeters.

Wilson will mostly use a Scanspeak tweeter but they will rebuild the back part of the tweeter enclosure.  They have used other tweeters at times, but mostly Scanspeak.

Unless there’s an obvious sonic advantage with the PMC MB2’s I’d definitely go for the Wilson Sasha’s in white or silver.

They’re almost works of art. On second thoughts not almost, they are works of art.

Coincidentally I auditioned the Alexia 2s and the new PMC Fenestria back to back yesterday and today. Alexia 2s at a dealer, driven by Naim Statement monos, and Fenestria at the Festival of Sound show in London, driven by AVM 1.2KW monos. There was absolutely no comparison, the Fenestria blew the Alexia 2s, and everything else at the show out of the water. It could be the room or setup, but the Alexia was in a somewhat treated dedicated listening room, while the PMCs were in an untreated hotel conference room.

Alexias sounded like really nice hi-fi speakers, sounded great on certain instruments and voice. I do think the setup wasn't done 100% properly.  The Fenestria, they were simply stunning, my jaw was open for the first 3 songs. It's just a whole wall of music with precise image that wasn't picky about sweet spot, uniform and yet layered presentation, incredibly detailed and balanced with refined yet impactful bass.

If you are looking to spend Wilson Alexia money, please do yourself a favor and audition the Fenestrias. 

I've heard the PMC MB2 SE's sound tremendously impressive at shows.A real combination of bowl-you-over dynamics, a big sound, with timbral realism.   Especially from outside the room, it often sounded like a live jazz band, and sometimes even something like a real orchestra, was pounding away from within the room.   Then again..those PMCs do seem to be demonstrated at "turned to 11" volume levels at shows, to show what they can do.
I wasn't nearly as impressed by the smaller, narrower floor standing models I've heard from PMC.  I found them competent, but unexceptional.  (Then again, I haven't had time with them in really optimal conditions).
