thoughts and views on PMC OB1's

Whatever, but have you thought, they may actually sound better than yours!

 

No.

 

Yeah, but until you hear them you'll never know.

 

To be fair, PMC pulverise the atc in the bass dept, if a little fruity, but at least there is some

 

I allways thought that bubs speeks did do bass, maybe its a cople of factors, one ear level alignment with 12" woofer in bubs setup, maybe they are also a bit lacking at the top, which seems to overemphasize the bass, maybe it's down to mana, or maybe I prefer texture and involvenent to accuracy.

 

Room filling with noise, doesn't quite strike me as quality bass, though I could be mistaken???

 

WM I never said "quality" bass

 

Ok, thanks for clarification Ak.

 

An internet hi-fi expert speaks

Really, <stifling a yawn> Tony? I suppose you must be an expert on this subject.

AFAIK, ATC produce the finest loudspeakers money can buy. Perhaps I'm alone in thinking this. But it's odd that I've never heard anything to rival them, as yet.

AK, you display your bruises with nearly every post. A mite unseemly, IMO.

 

James,

you forgot to add IMHO

 

James how long is it since you did first year medicine, bruises don't last that long, James I'm mearly retorting to your thinly veiled snide comments, methinks my bruises have healed, but it looks like your scars are coming along nicely.

 

It's not humble, Tony, and far from being solely my opinion.

But keep on banging that drum, some idiot will believe you eventually...

AK: rusty fiesta versus beemer, your choice!

 

Neither james I'll stick with the Audi, prefer it to a one trick pony.

 

Come on James, surely its a bit naive to think this. Sure ATC are very good, but to say there are no other loudspeakers (studio monitors or otherwise) that are as good is a bit daft if you ask me. Surely there are other speaker designers that can do it as well as Billy Woodman, or is he some godlike figure that no one else can even approach? (after all, he doesnt even listen to his designs these days)

 

I do bang a lot of drums, mainly Kick/side and snare.and modestly saying I'm quite good at it too!
Mind you I'm of the understanding that self dellusional syndrome (SDS) is treatable by theropy and drugs, prehaps some professional help, might ease the symptoms James.

 

James I was taliking to someone who has heard your system and Pog's, he reckoned Pog's was way better than yours, what speakers does Pog use?

 

we off again?

fun for the weekend eh.

 

AK, Bub - can I head North and arbitrate (I've heard Pog's system)?

 

You are welcome any time, Alex.

So ... ATC have built up an international reputation for excellence, based on duff designs? Dream on, chaps.

AK, who was that then? Was it WM, by any chance?

I've heard Pog's system, too, btw. I really shouldn't comment on it, so I won't. He uses Isobariks. I don't like Isobariks very much (but I prefer them to the ART speakers which AK uses, by far). Draw you own conclusions from that.

 

ATC do make most excellent speakers, but there's no way you can say they're unequivocally the best! They're perfect for some, and not so for others..
I've heard mighty fine sounds from PMC (though it was admittedly the custom installation at the Radio 1 studio in Maida Vale - using a big bank of Brystons!), and also from Harbeth in the shape of the Monitor 40 - which is a grand speaker and isn't quite so subjectively tiring as, say, an ATC scm100.. And all for only a bit over £4k!
