PMC FB1

Unlike traditional ported or sealed cabinets, the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) uses internal damping material and a folded tunnel to guide sound waves. This results in significantly deeper, more controlled bass response from a relatively slim floorstanding cabinet.

Yes, the slim footprint of the FB1 makes them quite versatile for various room sizes. However, because they offer deep bass extension down to 25 Hz, you will want to ensure you have enough space to pull them slightly away from the wall to prevent the low end from becoming boomy.

With a sensitivity of 90dB and an 8-ohm impedance, the FB1 is relatively easy to drive. A high-quality integrated amplifier or power amp with 50 to 150 watts per channel will provide more than enough headroom for reference-grade performance.

This pair has been fully serviced, which includes recapping the crossover networks with high-grade capacitors to restore original performance specifications. The real cherry veneer cabinets have also been professionally cleaned and polished.

The ScanSpeak soft-dome tweeters are highly regarded for their natural, non-fatiguing high-frequency reproduction. They provide excellent detail and clarity without the harshness sometimes found in metal-dome alternatives, contributing to the speaker's overall musical coherence.

For most music listening, a subwoofer is unnecessary. The FB1 is designed to reach down to 25 Hz, providing a full-range sound that is typically sufficient for even demanding orchestral or electronic tracks.
