Hi from a newbie. Looking for OB1 reviews.
« on: 20 Feb 2006, 08:53 pm »
Hi there,

As you might have gathered, I'm new here. Anyway I'm looking into the possbility of buying a pair of OB1s for myself and would like other people's opinons of them and links to or offers of review copies about this speaker.

I should also point out at this early stage that I am a Hi-Fi dealer based in Edinburgh, Scotland and have have just taken on the PMC range. So far I have been extemely impressed with them but we do not currently have the OB1s as a demonstration model in the store. We do however have the DB1, DB1M-C, GB1 and FB1.

How much better is the OB1 to the FB1? Is my current kit listed below up to the job of getting a good sound out of them? Any bad points about them? If anyone has links to or scanned in copies of reviews they have had I would be most interested in reading them.

Analogue Source: Michell Orbe SE with Technoarm and Ortofon Kontrapunkt B

Digital Sources: Arcam FMJ CD36 and Arcam FMJ DV29

Stereo Amplification: Spectral DMC-10 Preamplifier and Musical Fidelity A5cr Power Amplifier.

AV Amplification: Arcam AVR300 (with front channels driven by MF A5 power amp)

Main Speakers: Still to be decided, probably PMC OB1

Centre Speaker: Kef XQ2C

Surround Speakers: 4x Monitor Audio GRFX

Subwoofer: REL Acoustics Stentor 3


I look forward to your responses with anticipation.

Regards,

Crustyloafer.

No-one? What a welcome. I hope this is not traditional for newcomers or foreigners.

Thanks again James. I must go to bed now, as it is almost 23:00 here.

Ciao for now.
