New crossover for PMC fact12?

Hi,

I have a pair of PMC fact12 speakers which I bought about 10 years ago and which I am very happy with. They are also one of the few floorstanders which will fit in the available space.

I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has done this.

Thanks.

These are very rare indeed, due mostly to their price. But you may get lucky. They are extremely narrow.

What do PMC charge, as a matter of interest? (I recall an enjoyable afternoon listening to the .8 models some years ago, with expensive NAIM amplifiers, at a dealer demo.)

PS. I wouldn’t normally direct you to another forum, but post #11 here might be helpful.

PMC Fact 8 vs. Fact 8 Signature

Greetings everybody! I wonder whether there are any fishies who had a chance to compare PMC's older Fact 8 to the newer Fact 8 Signature. I understand that PMC claims some trickle-down technology from their Fenestria, and I guess there is an improvement in sound quality. But does it present a...

Hi,

Thanks for the link; that was useful.

I think the new crossovers cost in the region of £4k which is not negligeable but cheaper than buying new Signatures.
