Manufacturer Description: 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 i-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 FB1i, 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. minimize
