The FB1 was the first wholly domestic model from the PMC stable. From its humble drawing-board beginnings to the present day it has become an audio legend, winning awards on all continents from the leading audiophile critics. The FB1 has even received critical acclaim from respected professional magazines for its ability as a true reference-recording monitor.
The  series upgrades of the new SONOLEX™ tweeter, PMC designed bass driver, improved cabinet integrity and optimised crossover network has once again raised the bar in what can be achieved in a 2-Way floorstanding speaker. These significant technical improvements give greater speed, transparency and a wider window onto the performance whether it is music or movie surround.
The FB1, with its 6 1/2 bass unit and extended ATL™ provides a deeper and richer feel than the smaller models and therefore excels in a medium to large listening room.

FB2i WINS BEST FLOORSTANDING SPEAKER IN GROUP TEST
AV-Review Group test: Floor standing speakers £1,500-£2,000
The line up - DALI Mentor 5 , Dynaudio Excite X36 , JBL LS60 & PMC’s TB2i
The Critic’s quote:
“..there was the growing realisation that these were the monitors we were returning to as a yardstick against the others. The PMC’s performed the difficult trick of conveying the music, not the speaker.”
“If there is a product to beat it on sound quality, bring it on! In the meantime, it seems quite in order to award it top points, something rarely seen.”
“..there is no doubting its ability to project sound away from its working surfaces with excellent stage accuracy and commendably low distortion. With these points in mind, the PMC carries the vote."
Mark Wilson – AV-Review
