“The prophecy9 delivers higher fidelity to the source than most speakers, which often overblow the bass to create a richer sound.”
“Clean bass is the key to transparency in loudspeakers; it’s not all that hard to make the mid and treble sound fast and clear, but doing the same at low frequencies is a real challenge that few speakers manage. This, combined with the efforts that PMC has put into integrating the output of the various drivers, has resulted in a speaker that has the clarity of a full-range panel with the power of a dynamic design.”
“Laura Marling’s ‘Soothing’ really shone, sounding as if a veil had been removed by the prophecy9s which played down the bass line that often dominates this track and put the spotlight on the vocal where you would expect it.”
“I suspect that by basing this design on their studio monitors, PMC has produced a more accurate and revealing result than one usually encounters. Most speakers are tuned by ear in their final stages at least, yet few engineers have access to the sort of reference that PMC has in the studio world.”
“This is an unusually exacting and precise loudspeaker, one the bass is highly capable but never overblown or thick; in fact, it makes many conventionally ported speakers sound that way.”
