Naim power with PMC

Posted by: redeye on 02 November 2001

Greetings,
Any of you knowledgable types have any experience of using PMC speakers on Naim kit?
I'm thinking 180 + FB1 in particular

Cheers,
Redeye

Great bass drive, great tonal balance! smile

No pr&t. frown

If you want large floorstanders, try Rega Naos instead.

It's always a nice day for it wink Have a good one! smile

Steven,

Wot no PRaT???
Think you're wrong there mate. Demoed FB1 against Naos amongst others & the PMC slaughtered the Regas on all counts. You use Naim when you tried 'em??

Yes, I used Naim for the demo.
The FB1s were a bit slow in the midband for my tastes compared to the Naos.
THe FB1s had better, more powerful bass drive, I admit, but in the mid, they just lacked articulation and involvement in comparison with the Naos.
I did the demo on two different occasions.
The first time I heard the FB1s I was seriously impressed, but the second time they just didn't involve me with Mary Chapin Carpenter's Time * Sex * Love album as well as the Naos did.

It's always a nice day for it wink Have a good one! smile
