PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?

If the grills of my IB2i were to become warped (I assume that's what Mclsound meant by "wraped"), PMC will replace them free of charge for the next 18 years. That's how long I have remaining on the original 20-year warranty, which is transferable. I'd call that a company that prizes customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Jim Salk even send a free replacement grill to a second owner. Many times, Jim offers free of charge sevice like speakers re-inspection, veneer buffed to a second owner if they are willing to pay for shipping. How is that for a service. This kind of stuff being mention by Salk owner all tge time on audiocircle/Salk thread.

First of all,as I said""at 1/3 the cost they are a great speaker" and 3-4yrs ago I still had lots to learn about the inner industries manufacturing politics.I recently watched a gentleman order some IB2's and all said and done,they were the better part of $15,000 all in.I said that he should wait for a little bit but it was already done. 3 weeks later a used pair of one year old came available(20yr warranty) for $7500...But I personally have learned my lesson.
The grills were off of your USA distribution demos(1yr old) and were left in the box I guess and Maurice told me to buy them myself.I called PMC in England and they said it was going to be $199 pounds each + shipping+taxes for each grill.This grill was 2 pieces of 1/4" mdf glued together with grill cloth and a PMC logo...I sold those $20,000 MB2's for $8000.
A friend of mine went into a Toronto dealer and demoed the PB1i and OB1i and was looking at a cash deal on the OB1i.They said ""for CASH with taxes all in....$7700""He fell on the floor saying $7700 for a 6.5" Morel woofer was a joke and later found a used pair for $2800.
AGAIN,great sound if you can get them for 1/3 the cost.
I see they have a new pair of ""SE"" versions with stands...I wonder what they run a pair with the stands.

However,I highly recomend McCaulogh(??) audio In Winnipeg Manitoba if you are looking to buy new as he is a fair man to deal with I was told by local Winnipegers.

As much I like the sound of the IB2i, I agree that they are a poor value proposition at retail prices. Of course, the same can be said of most of high-end audio.
