“I'm just blown away by these incredible details and the phase behaviour this system brutally reveals at any listening level, especially with very low SPL which I'm used to work with. As an educated church organ builder I’m truly familiar with the sound of a huge wave length evolved in "analogue and live”. Therefore, an ultra low G played by a 32' foot woodpipe (24.5 Hz) is a perfect sample to demonstrate the undistorted and accurate reproduction of PMC's amazing ATL. Holy f&%)ng guacamole! But the most important thing to me is the perfect and reliable tranformation of mixes and masterings into the "outer world". PMC is my perfect choice!"
