The flagship twenty5.26i is the largest in the range and features a third driver dedicated to the all-important mid frequencies, where the critical detail is to be found in vocal recordings.

PMC is respected worldwide for its soft-dome mid-range drivers, and the flagship twenty5.26i, the largest in the range, features a third driver dedicated to the all-important mid frequencies, where the critical detail is to be found in vocal recordings. The three-way design ensures that each important frequency range has its own dedicated driver, so that the speaker can fill even the largest spaces with absolute transparency and clarity. This is a sublime speaker that can expand with you as you upgrade your system, and bring out the very best in whatever equipment you connect it to.

"I have purchased a PMC Corr amp and twenty5.26i speakers.The main reason I purchased these items was I wanted a clear warm song with good stereo separation . Plus I wanted to have some control to adjust the tone levels on poorly produced Vinyl records.Your amplifier was the only one available that allowed this.I visited 6 different outlets with a budget of £10/20,000. Sevenoaks in Oxford were the only ones that took me seriously and tried to satisfied my needs.The others said all HiFi Manufacturers don’t put tone controls on their amplifiers as the want you to hear the track as it was meant to be.Hence a lot of the vinyl which is badly produced sounded terrible. "
Mr P, BOURNEMOUTH
"Straight out of the box, the sound quality of the new PMC Twenty5 26i is an improvement over the previous design which itself was excellent. The PMC Twenty5 26i speakers and the matching PMC Twenty5i Centre speaker make for a very potent front LCR package in my Home Cinema when driven by Bryston electonics. The low bass from the PMC Twenty5 26i is controlled and quick and when the family heard these at home for the first time in 2 channel stereo, I was asked ‘where is the Subwoofer?’ to which I smiled and said ‘there isn’t one’. Jaws were subsequently on the floor. The PMC Twenty5 26i speakers exhibit a very wide sound field with excellent high frequency imaging and a nice sweet top end to my ears. The 20 year warranty is something unheard of with consumer speakers and it really says something about the confidence PMC have in the design and build quality of their speakers and manufacturing process and it is reassuring to know that if I ever had problems, that I would be looked after. I could tell from the packaging that these speakers have been made with care and attention to detail. The PMC Twenty5 26i speakers are not inexpensive by any means but boy are they worth it! "

"My 26i driven by a Karan Acoustics amplifier produce a crystal clear sound and a perfect timing. "

"Long overdue upgrade from the original FB1’s. The soundstage and focus is amazing. Now looking forward to replaying my vinyl collection. Happy days ahead. "
Mr A, Maldon Essex
"After 30 years with a Naim nac72 nap140 and Ruark speakers decided to upgrade. A friend has a Linn Akurate system with older PMC speakers which sounded much better than my “legacy” system. Was originally planning to audition twenty5 23i with the Linn amps, but Criterion Audio recommended the 26i speakers to match that quality of amplification. A demonstration left me in no doubt, and after a home audition to make sure they worked in my listening room I signed on the dotted line. Very happy with my choice. A massive improvement- more involving, musical and informative. Just superb. "
Mr T, Cambridge
"… out of the box sounds good, strikingly clear and ‘airy’, but the 50+ hours are still ahead. So, too soon to say, but I have no doubts that I will be more than pleased. "
