Yes without a shadow of a doubt . :exmark:
🙂
The PB1i is a very large step up in performance from the OB1i .
I was quite shocked at the size of the improvement when I upgraded from my OB1,s . Every single area of the performance is improved but the thing that stands out the most is the size or scale of the sound , it is huge with amazing dynamics that makes the OB1's sound small by comparison.
Even though to look at the PB1i is only a little bigger with one extra bass driver do not be fooled into thinking that it will sound like an OB1i with more bass because it is far more than that , there is just so much more musical energy delivered into the room across the whole frequency range that will have you thinking to yourself how is this physically possible ?
I chose my PB1i ,s over the larger EB1i because the bass performance was almost equal as was the scale of the performance but the PB1i imaged better and was better balanced overall IMO which is probably why the EB1i was discontinued !
The bass performance of the PB1i is in a totally different league to the OB1 with real deep powerful subsonic power that preserves all the pitch and textures of bass instruments in an almost unique way compared to other brands of speaker .
So if you want full scale realistic live sounding music in you listening room then I would say a big YES
