PMC speakers

Anyone compared the GB1i and FB1i's midrange? Are they very similar sounding or is the GB1i ahead due to the smaller driver?

Thanks

The FB1i's midrange will be better due to firstly having a dedicated midrange driver, and also the nature of the driver will outperform most cone based midrange drivers. Your choice may be governed by their compatibility with the room - the FB1i will produce a much better and stronger lower end.

PMC's are my favourite sub - £2,000 speakers (the ones I've heard). I can't comment on the FB1's (a few of the other members really rate them) but the GB1's have a fabulous all round game. The GB's bristle with detail and have a great midrange and bass for the money.

What is your current system? My appraisal is based on my sub-£1,000 per component set-up [way below, in fact]. Also bare in mind the FB1's are considerably bigger, so they should scale easier.

You're referring to the OB1i not the FB1i.
