"Lovely sound and more detail than I ever realised was possible"
Mr A, Curry Rivel, Near Langport, Somerset

"After 2 days impressions are excellent. Very pleased"
Mr P, Manchester

"Well done excellent product very good sound."
Mr K, Killarney

"Really litlle ones, first impression is superb! In a few days they will sound even better!! Again many thanks to the PMC team! Great job. Greetz from Belgium"
Mr W, Wetteren

"They're only 2 weeks new, so still running in, but I'm still amazed at how dynamic and transparent such a small speaker can be. I've owned Monitor Audio (GX50) and B&W (CM1) standmounts previously and while I've enjoyed the talents of both, I think the Twenty.21's are the most natural sounding. Voices, brass instruments and acoustic material sound wonderful. The balance is a little bright at present, so I am experimenting with all copper interconnects and speaker cable rather than QED and Chord silver coated cables. I've also dug out my old Rega Brio-R amplifier which seems a very nice match."
Mr M, Reading

Mr B, Reading

"Brand new and straight out of the box they sound a great deal better than my KEF Q300s, this is before they have even been run-in. The bass is more defined, the mid-range is a clear step up in quality with the highs showing great potential. Thanks PMC"
Mr J, Gainsborough

"Très bonnes enceintes, associées à un ampli Nuprime ida 8 et à un caisson de basse Vélodyne spl 800, l'ensemble marche très fort."
Mr Y, LOGNES

"Sounds amazing"
Mr T, Whitstable

"I am currently waiting one my pair of twenty.23s to arrive, but in the meantime I am loving my 21s as the front stereo pair. They interface really nicely with the REL S3 subwoofer that I am using, together they create a lovely integrated sound even right down into the lows."

"Soundheaven. This is MY speaker. The twenty 21 is the work of angels. I am 1000000% happy with my new twenty 21. Thanks!!!"
Mr S, Copenhagen

"Well these were the 5th pair of speakers that I have had on demo at my house. The retailer Basically Sound of Norfolk were very patient ! The PMC 21 stood out from the competition.The sound they portrayed was impressive. The base notes were there when needed, a nice tight base that didn't interfere with the mid or high notes. The vocal's on a recording stood out as well very clear, The 3D effect (if that's the right phrase) these speakers produce is impressive ! They certainly fill the room with a rich full sound ! Also when the speakers are played at a low volume the quality of the sound is still there.They are also very well built, very solid and well finished."
Mr M, Foulsham Dereham

"Just amazing and outstanding. If I can express myself and say - this is what I was looking for. Thank you for your hard work."
Mr J, Southampton

"Very satisfied! I will recommand it to friends!"
Mr A, Lausanne

"I wasn't thinking about changing my speakers until my Epos speakers developed a fault. The salesman recommended your speakers and after listening to a few other speakers like B+W and Kef I was amazed at how much I prefer your speakers. The sound was more natural on classical music which is what I listen to most frequently. Now that they are in the house I think they are better suited to my room than my Epos were. Thanks"
Mr J, Llantwit fardre

"Very nice sounding."
Mr N, Sheffield

"I have only been listening to them for a view days but I love the sound of them, and from what I have read they will sound even better over time."
Mr A, Wigan

"Very good out of the box or new sound. Was very impressed at the sound quality during the audition at the dealers."
Mr D, WASHINGTON

"I have just purchased a pair of your twenty.21 speakers in Diamond Black with your purpose designed stands, absolutely stunning. One of the main reasons for the purchase was the size of the cabinet. These speakers are diminutive in physical size but not in the sound they produce. I can not believe the scale of sound these speakers can chuck out. The are so musical with a beautifully controlled natural base to a sweet treble. The sound is so effortlessly smooth but very detailed, love them!!!"
Mr C, Macclesfield

"This is a Christmas present ..... I will be opening on Xmas day can't wait!!!"
Miss R, Edgworth

"Very happy with the 21's"
Mr M, BOGNOR REGIS. WEST SUSSEX

"1.综合改动后，TWENTY21更容易被驱动，提升了一个档次。 2.TWENTY 21的优越体现在价格上了，低频温暖、丰满，有大箱的味道，声音中性，音染小，解析力惊人。"
Mr H, SHENZHEN CITY

"Absolutely delighted with my 2021's. They look like a quality product and gave made an immediate and significant improvement to my system. Wish I had bought them a while ago."
Mr P, Solihull

"Having purchased HI Fi for the last 35 years these are by far the most detailed and engaging speakers I have ever owned. Build quality is superb, I have not stopped smiling whenever I put them on. They are a credit to the manufacturers and made in the UK !"
Mr I, Bridgend

"Excellent, and great to go with my 23s and Centre in a 5.1 set up."
Mr J, Ashtead

"As soon as I heard them demo'd I knew it was what I was looking for.."
Mr E, London

"Chose diamond black, because the finish looks great. Fabulous bass for such tiny speakers, very wife friendly."
Mr P, Bristol

"I decided to upgrade my hi-fi after 20 years of use. Michael and Peter at Lintone Audio, Gateshead, advised that my initial choice of speakers wouldn't do justice to my new amplifier. After testing several speakers the standout speakers, both within my budget and those (unfortunately beyond it) were all PMC. The company ethos, product history and enthusiasm shone from the PMC website and catalogue. The speakers reflected this, in their quiet classy subtlety and attention to musical detail. I look forward to using these speakers over the next twenty years, especially as they are already revealing new items in music which I thought I knew well. Thank you"
Mr G, Gateshead

"Incredible detail and imaging, makes poor recordings better and good recordings better than great! And the Bass… WoW! Hearing vocal detail I have never heard before and piano, strings, cymbals, etc. sing with purity and definition. I love my PMC twenty.21's!"
Mr L, Milwaukie

"Dam fine speakers very happy right from out of the box."
Mr C, Cross Hands Carmarthen

"We were very sad not be able to continue using our OB1i speakers but a change of house meant a change of speaker. So after hearing them, the obvious choice was PMC twenty 20 and if anything, they are even better!"
Mr G, Ferndown

"I could'nt imagine that such a small speakers can sound so beautifully and powerful and my ears do not get tired to listen to the music now."
Mr R, Dublin

"Very pleased with the finish (black lacquer)and above all the sound. from a domestically sized speaker (this is my second system in our main living space) .
