An astonishingly natural balance and high dynamic capability are the hallmarks of this speaker. The twenty.22 conveys music in its purest form by utilising ATL™ technology, which provides a high degree of control over an extensive frequency range. It creates a precise sound stage and profound bass performance from a stand-mount cabinet and thanks to its effortless nature can be enjoyed for long periods at high or low level.

"So far very good"
Mr K, Gdańsk

"Très bon produit : bon son, bonne finitions."
Mr B, PARIS

"Einfach schön"
Mr E, Baden-Württemberg - Eislingen (Fils)

"My third pair of PMC speakers. I am a big fun of these loudspeakers and PMC sound philosophy. I matched these PMC twenty22s with all Cyrus kit. Great sound."
Mr A, Krasne

"The speakers have met my expectations, I am satisfied"
Mr M, Wielogłowy

"These were I think your last batch of the Twenty series which have replaced some TB2+’S which had the studio vinyl covering, as opposed to these in the Piano Black which look absolutely gorgeous. Sound wise, the TB2+’s weren’t bad coming through a Naim UnitiQute 2 (they’re in a kitchen/diner), but these straight out of the box sound much more refined, detailed and just better. I’m well chuffed, keep up the good work!"
Mr S, Ferndown

"Niets!!! Perfect!!"
Mr C, Diksmuide

"Excellent produit rapport volume/son Excellent product volume / sound rating"
Mr C, MAISONS LAFFITTE

Mr G, Roma (Italia)

"very early, only 30 hours on them so far but LOVE them - thank you! If I could afford the Twenty5 set-up, I would!!"
Mr M, London

"Love them, open airy clean sound and easy to place in any room."
Mr D, Toronto

"These speakers are absolutely fantastic."
Mr A, Beverley

"So, overwhelmed by the soundquality that I've replaced all my speakers in my home by PMC. The ATL technology for BASS sound makes these speakers very musical, at least for my ears, and the overall sound quality is astonishing!"
Mr P, Kampenhout

"Great Speakers. What more can I Add."
Mr G, Hornchurch Essex

"These are the best bookshelf speakers I've ever owned. Natural sound. Impressive clarity even at low volumes - with exceptional detail and sound stage even at moderate listening levels. I love them."
Mr S, East Toowoomba

"I discovered PMC when making a mastering at Electric City (Brussels). This was incredible! Each doubt I had while recording and mixing vanished easily. Every details were clearly there in front of me. You don't need to have big ears for making wonderful mixes. You just need to have a true monitoring system. I'm a sound engineer and like most sound engineers, I'm not rich. Until recently, I was listening to narrow sounds on JBL L46 via a Realistic amp and a Denon CD player or an Onkyo turntable. I do not record any more music. So I sold a few microphones and I bought the PMC Twenty 22 with a Rega. It's like opening a valve. Until then, a little trickle of water flowed in my head. Now I'm under a shower. What's good!"
Mr P, Gembloux

"Wow, the detail is fantastic. I am really listening to music now. Thanks."
Mr H, Bedok

"MY SPEAKERS LOOK GREAT AND WORK VERY WELL RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX."
Mr H, TROY

"These speakers sound fantastic for their size, as Peter Thomas says 'You can feel the base'. The black finish is excellent and of a very high standard."
Mr B, Aylesbury

"Excelente trabajo. Felicitaciones, estoy muy contento con la compra."
Mr A, Santiago

"Happy as can be!"
Mr E, Castricum

"Simplemente magnifico."
Mr F, Cenes de La Vega

"Una vez instalados en el salón de mi casa me quedé impresionado con el sonido. Pero la sorpresa real ha sido tras el "running in", simlemente impresionante. El sonido es más real , intenso y emocionante. Mi primera experiencia Hi-Fi ha sido PMC, espero el romance continúe. Juan H, Barcelona"
Mr J, Barcelona

"Very good."
Mr M, Besozzo (va)

"Just out of the box and not run-in but already have more presence than my much-loved DB1i's which they replace."
Mr S, Blaydon on Tyne

"Only had a few hours with them so no where near broken/burned in but already noticed an improvement from out of the box and liking them alot. Feeding them with roksan caspian platinum which seems to be quite a good partner especially at higher volumes.. Finish is very good I love the walnut and the slant I think is quite cool.... Top work PMC keep em comin!!"
Mr J, Dumbarton

"One of the reasons i purchased 22 stand mount speakers is for there 90 db sensitivity as i have some vintage valve amps i also have a new sugden a21 signature amplifier that drives them excellent, many thanks for a nice product"
Mr P, Nr chesterfield

"De momento estoy muy contento con ellos, en general se defienden muy bien con todo tipo de música de la que le he puesto claro, pop, rock, flamenco, techno, house... y se notan más los detalles a un volumen un poco más alto, pero claro está, no siempre se puede tener el volumen alto. Me los compré por capricho, para sustituir a unos Mordaunt-short Mezzo 2, que sonaban divinos para mi gusto claro, pero lógicamente el precio de los twenty se percibe en la calidad de sonido y de materiales en su construcción. Debido a mi afición por el Hifi leo muchos foros y solo buenas críticas de pmc y tantos premios a los twenty 22 no podia dejarlos escapar. Sin duda orgulloso de la compra, y marca recomendable para cualquier amigo o, interesado en una compra de altavoces. Les felicito por su experiencia y buen hacer en los altavoces. Muchas Gracias. Un saludo desde Barcelona."
Mr J, Badalona

"Excellent speakers, and stands."
Mr D, Seaton,

"Highly detailed, accurate and musical speakers. The best I have ever owned. (So far!!)"
Mr A, Peasedown St. John

"highly recommended....own 22s and 24s"
Mr G, Milano

"Well worth the wait to own. Eagerly anticipate the time spent enjoying."
Mr G, Swindon

"The twenty.22 (powered by my Classe amplifier) is a very clear and present musicmaker. Coming from large traditional floorstanders (transmission line) it takes a little time to get use to the less present lower frequenties. But the the beautiful and transparant piano tones are now singing in the air, free as a bird. I do enjoy the music very much!"
Mr J, Bleiswijk

"Très bonnes enceintes -- toujours en rodage."
Mr T, PIERREFEU DU VAR

"I have owned a set of PMC TB speakers (The original black TB1) for over 15 years and love the sound with my Cyrus 7 and Smartpower amps. Always wondered if upgrading to Twenty 22 was worth it. After running side-by-side at Sevenoaks (in Tunbridge), switching back-and-forth and a variety of (Beatles) tracks. Both the dealer and I came to the same conclusion: They have the same "family" sound, but the 22 are just better in every way. Worth the upgrade? Yep,"
Mr A, Caterham

"So far, the speakers sound as good as the identical model in the dealer's demonstration room and I'm looking forward to hearing them improve even further as they 'run-in'. I love the aesthetics of the speaker / stand combination and they exude a classiness in look and finish that reassures me I made the right choice in PMC."
Mr P, Houghton Le Spring

"Lovely speakers in every way!"
Mr J, Wayland

"I love the soundstage they produce and the details that are revealed. The bass is spot on for my taste, deep, tight and just the right amount. They look great too and along with the twenty centre they bring movies to life."
Mr A, Swansea

"Splendid Loudspeakers"
Mr N, Bisceglie - Bt

"Impressed by the build quality as soon as they came out of the box, running them in as we speak. Great service from a PMC award wining dealer. On my wages I had to sell a kidney to buy them but I am in no doubt they will be worth every penny."
Mr T, Southampton

"Amazing speakers straight out of the box, such a big step up from previous speakers. I am truly pleased to the bone."
Mr M, SLOUGH

"Following an excellent demonstration at the Bristol Hi Fi show and information from Keith Tonge we took advantage of the show discount. The speakers were delivered on Thursday which was great service. Despite still running in they sound absolutely stunning, we are delighted."
Mr G, Banbury

"The Twenty 22s sounded fantastic straight up they are running straight from my Unitiqute 2 just got some NAC a5 cable to try and will soon have a NAP 250 connected. I am really looking forward to hearing them as they run in."
Mr B, Mount Pleasant

"PMC twenty 22 are very good speakers. Thank you."
Mr D, Hue City

"I have been the proud owner of a pair of twenty-22's for one week, but already they have had an impact on the pleasure I get from my CD and vinyl (streaming is coming!) collections. The detail is phenominal as are the dynamics and depth. Superb."
Mr D, Dartford

"Outstanding, so much better than I thought they would be."
Mr D, Gateshead

"Tight clear sound with a full range."
Mr P, Upper caldecote

"After having the Twenty 21's for about 12 months I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the 22's for a wider range of music bass and all round step up in quality and so far I haven't been disappointed."
Mr S, Bangor

"Nice speakers."
Mr A, Moscow

"Sound amazing for the size, wanted floorstanders but my wife decided otherwise and had to buy standmounts and put them on a bookcase (hence closed or ATL vs back ported). No regrets as they are fantastic, probably my favourite for music (along with Monitor Audio Platinums) on my Simaudio Moon i5.3 but I will need a small subwoofer for home cinema."
Mr A, London

"I don't know anything about all the technicality's, and I've never spent this sort of money on speakers before, but they are the best I've ever heard all my music sound. I've suddenly got all my interest back, life's worth living again, i love them. Many thanks, from a very happy old man."
Mr R, HULL

"My main listening medium are CD's, and these speakers partnered with Naim absolutely excel. The speed, control and clarity is phenomenal. Straight out the box there performance has exceeded my expectations, I'm informed that they will only get better after the running period - can't wait. Sometimes the best does come in small packages."
Mr C, Basingstoke

"Excellent. I had the FB1i before and I think the 22's are superior to them. Both are excellent."
Mr G, Winnipeg

"I've only started using the 22s today so it would be unfair to comment as yet given they will need time to run in. They do sound pretty good straight out of the box but I hope for continuous improvement over the next few weeks. I needed to put the speakers against a back wall so the front mounted transmission line exit was a very important part in my choice. Also, I would like to commend Criterion Audio who supplied the speakers - a proper hi fi dealer........and there aren't many of those around."
Mr P, Norwich

"Excellent sound even though not yet run in."
Mr D, Winterbourne Stoke

"My first standmount, sound great and can't wait untill they're run in."
Mr A, Abbey wood

"Already very happy with my first PMC purchase !!!"
Mr E, WETTEREN

"The Twenty.22's are quite revealing, nimble, and still very authoritative for being a bookshelf. It's pretty amazing what they are capable of!"
Mr A, MIAMI

"Great clarity and detail."
Mr J, Derby

"Very good stuff"
Mr I, Bristol

"Beautiful sound from a small (bookshelf) package that is very wife friendly in size and appearance."
Mr J, London

"I have upgraded from the DB1is to the Twenty 22s. I was going to purchase the 21s but after much consideration I opted for the 22s. I have a small room and the roof slopes down at quite an angle. I was worried in case the 22s may be to big and the bass might be boomy, but after researching on positioning I decided to go for the 22s. They sound amazing. I have experimented with the positioning and after consulting the tips from the manual I have toed in the speakers which enhanced the stereo image and detail. I can't see me upgrading these beauties. I am revisiting my music collection to hear things I have never heard before."
Mr D, Chesterfield

"It's sounds beautiful"
Mr S, Singapore

"I am so pleased with the first pair I bought for use in my music room, I purchased another pair for the lounge. "

Mr H, Zurich

"I just love it. "

"I really like the 22 speakers - I never had a clear and good speaker like this - even my old floor standing speakers did not offer this deep and plenty bass. the tewenty 22 are yet small enough to have a high WAF (woman acceptance factor) "
Mr T, Italy

"First pmc speakers in my life. In love with the sound. "
Mr S, Netherlands

"I read the reviews and arranged for my local dealer to order them in. I tested them in store and immediately loved the sound. So clean, so clear. I bought them on the spot and set them up at home...and I think they sound better here. "

Mr D, London

"As soon as I started to listen to these speakers I just Knew that they are special, at lower listening levels they do not loose any of the musical structure with good sound staging and superb depth. "
Mr R, St Austell"

"They are very detailed and ' natural ' sounding speakers with a seamless frequency range. The bass is effortless and strong, the soundstage is Big - wonderful for stand mount speakers! "

Mr F, Cambridge

"I am very happy with my twenty 22. It's amazing how natural and immersive it sounds. The texture of sounds is so real, you think you can touch it. And most of all - this speaker does it with ease. Great job! Thank You very much! "
Mr M, Kraków

"Magnificent - they take you on an emotional journey - hearing things I've never heard before. "
Mr .B, Portsmouth

"They perform great. The decision for these was almost immediate in the listening test. The sounds is so detailed is like having one speaker per instrument of the orchestra. "
Mr A, Kent

"Love the sound of the 22's. Great detail and clarity, and incredible soundstage. Gorgeous in piano black and love the slanted back styling, especially with the matching stands. They look and sound the business! "
Mr M, Newquay

"Great opened sound stage, precise, fast, detail resolution, with space and air. Replacement of large towers that costed the double, the 22 are more musical and breathing, I like them better, Very happy! Thanks! "
