The GB1 was born out of two award winning PMC loudspeakers, the FB1+ and OB1. Technological advances in ATL™ design provided a platform for the radical GB1 design, including the driver and cutting edge crossover techniques seen in the + models.
The GB1 has a slender form factor, ideally suited to modern domestic environments, but the GB1 belies its size and takes any material in its stride. From Copeland to Kraftwerk, it reproduces a soundstage on a huge scale, with superb bass energy and imaging. Critics have praised not only the low frequency depth but also the astonishing midrange and high frequency clarity that make any performance with vocal accompaniment truly captivating.
The GB1 is highly versatile and suited to modest studies or open plan rooms, either free standing or in close proximity to a rear wall.

"There aren't, to my knowledge, many speakers of this size that attempt what the GB1 has a remarkably effective swipe at, and the fact that it has it has its foibles is only to be expected - after all there is no such thing as a perfect loudspeaker. Here the ability to play loud and go low in a controlled manner are the strengths, the fact that you can hear a lot through them and they look exceedingly cute is the icing on the cake. "
Jason Kennedy - AV Review
"Before I express my impressions of the GB1, let me tell you the impressions from the other two critics that live with me: my wife and my teenage son. The wife approval factor was way off the charts. She loved the finish and size.
My teenage son provided the following comment after hearing just the first few bars from the first CD I played, “…wow, those are clear. I knew within the first few minutes that the GB1 were keepers. My very first impression was not much different than my son’s. The upper, mid, and lower frequencies all come together to produce a well balanced sound.These speakers represent an excellent example of good things coming in small packages.
I have listened to music through the GB1 for hours on end without the slightest hint of fatigue. In my opinion, they are the next best thing to being live at a recording session." www.audioreview.com

"..something a little more origninal, the hybrid super audio cd version of Bjorks Medulla shows just how else these miniature floorstanders can shine. "
Audio and Video Lifestyle Magazine
"PMC has an amzing capability in the lower registers for its size. Bass is deep, detailed and well controlled"
"I am sure it will capture the hearts and minds of many music lovers and audiophiles."

"The GB1 not only has a modest visual presense, but much more than most it seems to disapear sonically. Shut your eyes and you'd be hard pressed to identify where the speakers were located! Stereo images are beautifuly spread around and between the enclosures, and romantic orchestral material was particulay delicate and engrossing."
HIFI Choice Sept 04
'we are very please with the speakers which were the best packed and are the most well finished items of HiFi equipment we have ever encountered - well done PMC!'
