PMC Twenty 23 Floorstanding Speakers – Diamond Black

We have here a beautifully crafted pair of speakers from British loudspeaker specialists PMC (Professional Monitor Company Limited) who were founded back in 1991. The company began by building studio monitors and very quickly established themselves in this field, being used by many recording artists all over the world. They also found similar success when they branched out to build domestic loudspeaker systems. Our examples of the Twenty23 are in the Diamond Black finish, in good condition, and come packaged in their original boxes with grilles, spikes, plinths and our standard three month warranty.
PMC say….
Your first impression of the twenty.23 is of an open and engaging loudspeaker, its size defying both the depth of bass it can offer and the scale of its presentation – it takes any music or film material in its stride. The sound is vivid and dynamic and delivered with authority — with your eyes closed, the location of the speakers can be hard to determine. Such is the realism of the twenty.23’s sound. The isolated stabilising plinths de-couple the cabinet allowing greater stereo focus and tighter defined bass.
ATL Technology
The source of PMC’s legendary natural, realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology, professionally proven all around the world.
ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent, efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes.
Greater detail & more natural – A full, rich sound at any volume level – Deeper bass from a smaller cabinet.
