For whom

Contents

For the purist. Someone who wants no coloration. Someone who wants to hear everything in the recording, without glossing over anything. No prettification. No sweetness. But when it all adds up, it’s enjoyment with a big E. The PMC Twenty5 22i also makes the rest of your system very audible. It better be on point or you’ll be left frustrated. The watts used should – so to say – be of decent quality.

Compare

Our Revels have a little more punch and kick in the low end. They also go a little deeper. They use the walls of the listening room to produce a deeper bass. Especially with certain genres, this is nice. The PMCs don’t go as deep but the bass sounds tremendously pure, fast and defined. Add a fast sub and you will have little to complain about.

Although they have been back to the importer for a while now, the PMC Twenty5 22i reminds us most of the Totem Acoustic Fire V2. That one not only had a similar shape but also a similar sound. We still have the fine Vienna Acoustics Haydn SE Signature (thanks to Hifimatters for the long loan) and they are quite different from the PMCs. The Vienna’s are friendly speakers that are somewhat tuned and never provocative. For someone who listens to music an average of five hours a day, these are a godsend. You sacrifice resolution, detail and layering, but the whole of the music comes through coherently.

Conclusion

Our first encounter with PMC is absolutely positive. The PMC Twenty5 22i is a particularly honest reproducer. This speaker is even more insightful than our more expensive Revels, and that means something. Because of the low distortion, you hear an extraordinary amount of the recording. The highs and mids are of exceptional quality but in our lively room we just miss some foundation at the bottom. Of course, that can be solved with a subwoofer or you can look at one of the floorstanders. The stereo image is exceptionally wide and, above all, sufficiently deep. In addition to its aural qualities, this speaker is also handsomely built and full of exceptional engineering. The generous warranty offered by PMC is the proverbial icing on the cake. Anyone looking for a neutral, holographic speaker has come to the right place with PMC.
