PMC speakers help/info

[Raymond Lin]

I am thinking of getting a better pair of stereo speaker for my Musical Fidelity X-A2 amp instead of the current B+W M1 (which I stole from my 7.1 setup). As I always wanted to try some PMC, apart from hearing them in a HiFi show a few lifetimes ago, what are the DB1+ like and how much should I expect to pay for a used pair ?

I am not that clue up on them, review seems good but I also came across comments about there are active ones? Really? Are those to be avoided?

There is also a pair of PMC FB1 on eBay but it's in Glasgow!

That's the thing, I can't justify a new pair of PMC, it's only going to be for occasionally use as well in the bedroom hence looking at the bookshelves. I can't really integrate it into my main 5.1 as that's all B&W speakers.

So the DB1 on eBay seems to be the best bet, I am aware it's a risk though.

If that price stays low, worth a punt.... or perhaps some Dynaudio's of similar size.... I have some Audience 42's as my rear channel.... another great little speaker.

One pair went for £395...way too much considering there is a pair of FB1 in Glasgow for £500.
