The pinnacle of the legendary twenty series, the twenty.26 features the same traits as its siblings - finesse, delicacy and musicality - but with an added ability to convey huge dynamic impact and the sheer scale of a musical performance, it can engulf the largest room. This exceptional, well thought out design will excel with a vast array of amplification due to its ease of drive and well-tempered balance, and its transparency ensures that users improving other elements of their signal path will appreciate the full benefit of their upgrades. This is a model that takes every musical style in its stride, and delivers the greatest level of overall clarity of any of the twenty series, or indeed of any speaker in this class.

"Feliz con mis Twenty.26. Gran sonido, contundencia, claridad sin saturación de los bajos, detalles de las grabaciones comenzaron a aparecer, se pueden pasar horas escuchándolos y no te cansan. Hermoso diseño pero imponente. Líneas sobrias. Su inclinación en la vertical le da un toque novedoso. No me canso de mirarlos todas las noches. Gran y cómodo detalle la rejilla magnética frontal y las protecciones de los drivers. En fin, creo que cuando pueda actualizar los amplificadores, obtendré un sonido mejor que el actual. Twenty.26, totalmente recomendable. Gracias PMC por revivir la música de mis grabaciones. // Happy with my Twenty.26. Great sound, forcefulness, clarity without saturation of the basses, details of the recordings began to appear, you can spend hours listening to them and they do not tire you. Beautiful design but imposing. Sober lines. Its inclination in the vertical gives it a novel touch. I never tire of looking at them every night. Great and comfortable detail the front magnetic grille and the protections of the drivers. Anyway, I think that when I can update the amplifiers, I will get a better sound than the current one. Twenty.26, totally recommendable. Thank you PMC for reliving the music of my recordings."
Mr F, Santiago

"Although only used for a few days already appreciating a big step up from my traded in Twenty 24s. Much cleaner and deeper base and of course, better mid range, great improvement in overall balance as well i.e. appear to present the sound stage much more clearer and uniformly. Well pleased so far, struggling to get anything else done!"
Mr P, Kettering

"Only a few hours in so its early days but had a few wow moments already. Looking forward to them opening further over the next few weeks."
Mr N, Bolton

"Love this."
Mr T, Calgary

"Fantastic!"
Mr M, Launceston

"Excellent"
Mr J, Ulu Melaka, Langkawi

"Still running in, so a bit early to say, but first impressions-THRILLING!! I have long been looking for a worthy successor to my COLES speakers, which were modeled on the BC1's, but with a little more bass. They had an exuberant quality which I have found difficult to match, but the mid-range response of these speakers is very exciting . particularly on vocals, and generally they have a bewitching character. with a wonderful quality of "presence". They appear to be excellent partners to my Quad set-up, which probably imparts a little warmth to the character of the output, which I personally like, having been brought up in an era when that quality was more fashionable (but I am adapting)! So far, a really delectable listen - many congratulations."
Mr G, Pinner

"This is an upgrade from a pair of FB1i's and I was immediately impressed by the greater range of the sound and the increased presence of the music"
Mr T, London

"Great sound straight from the box - bringing detail from my system that has exceeded expectations. Looking forward to the full run-in performance. They also look beautiful and the care in construction is visible."
Mr K, Westcliff-on-Sea

"Straight out of the box they sound excelent, with an impressive sound stage and detail. If they really do get better after 50 hours I will be very pleased indeed."
Mr P, Belfast

"Excellent!"
Mr N, Sevenoaks

"Still being run-in but happy so far."
Mr S, London

"Loving them so far, if only I had enough money for some more!"
Mr M, Leeds

"Excellent sound stage and open natural sound with balanced punchy bass. Paired with Naim amplifier and streamer and out performed other premium brands including higher priced speakers."
Mr R, Huddersfield

"They sound great."
Mr D, Cromford

"Have been using the speakers over the Christmas. They sound fantastic and I'm very pleased with them. I love listening to Classical music and the detail that they are able to uncover is really impressive. I'm using my 15 year old Musical Fidelity A3 Amps with them and I'm now feeling that I can get an even better sound by upgrading my amps and I'd really welcome any advice you have on this. Very impressed overall. Best wishes for 2017!"
Mr A, Horsham

"I had a pair of FB1i's for about 5 years and loved them, but the twenty.26's are in a different league. The mid-range driver reveals a lot more detail in music, but the twenty.26's achieve this without ever sounding clinical. They retain what I consider to be the great PMC strengths - firm bass, great imaging and sheer musicality. In short, they are simply captivating."
Mr P, Bolton

"Wonderful sound,and gorgeous looks,extremely happy"
Mr D, FORT WILLIAM

"Sound is outstanding. PMC twenty 26 match my Leema Tucana 2 and Antila 2s Eco perfectly."
Mr H, Grimsby

"Am listening through new Tellurium Q Blacks which need to run in but I can tell there's a transformation from my original Spendor SP1s. I was 'new' in getting back into hifi and in my trips round the web and magazine purchases I kept seeing PMC mentioned. Considered Spendor D7 and ATC SCM40 but here I am - very chuffed indeed."
Mr D, Ilfracombe

"Das Interview mit Peter Thomas in Stereo hat mich sehr beeindruckt, sodass ich bald danach Kontakt aufnahm zu Klaus Herrmann. Nach ersten Gesprächen dann endlich die Töne aus der Twenty 26, diese Box hat mich sofort fasziniert. Nach einigen Versuchen bei mir Zuhause fasziniert sie mich seit 2. August wenn immer ich Musik höre. Tolle Firma, tolle Lautsprecher"
Mr M, Wiesbaden

"After gradually upgrading much of my equipment (Audio Research: LS7(tube), DAC8, PH6(tube), D200, Rotel CD/DVD player, Linn LP12 w/Well Tempered arm/Benz Micro REF S, Dynalab FT101A Analog Tuner, Transparent Audio Cable/Interconnects) - I finally decided to upgrade my speakers of 19 years (Martin Logan Aerius i) to the PMC Twenty-26. I'm enjoying listening to and hearing even more details in my music collection... the midrange is superb, bass is taut, I'm hearing more of the music. Thank you for a beautifully engineered product."
Mr D, San Diego

"I had previously a FB1i wich I think is superp considering the price, for the 26 is to early but clearly the midrange makes the difference."
Mr A, Castro Urdiales

"Now set up properly, sounds superb, sitting on Townshend seismic podiums, the clarity is unbelievable."
Mr P, Peterborough

"Many speakers have crossed my listening room / cinema room. Twenty / 26 does everything right! Fantastic tight bass and a large stereo perspective! They serve both cinema and stereo listening. 90%, I listen to 2-channel, and it is then that they really stand out. Great speakers."
Mr C, Åkersberga

"Amazeballs!"
Mr M, Grayshott

"They sound absolutely fantastic. There is a warmth in the vocal and definition of the instruments I have never heard in any of my previous speakers. They are just wonderful"
Mr G, Mansfield . Notts

"100% TOTAL MUSICAL EXPERIENCE. PHYSICALLY VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL. THE SOUNDSTAGE IS SPACIOUS AND LUSH. THE IMAGE IS PERFECT. THESE BEAUTIES HAVE REPLACED HARBETH H.L.

"Casse acustiche di elevata qualità che sposa benissimo il dettaglio con il calore e la pienezza del suono con un ottimo stage."
Mrs L, Nocera inferiore

"They project a large, well-layered soundstage with bags of detail in an effortless fashion. Tonally they have a good balance of attack and smoothness. What impressed me was how well they integrated into my listening room, with less bass boom and nasty midrange reflections."
Mr S, Lincoln

"The best sound quality I have heard from a consumer speaker"
Mr J, Tunbridge Wells

"Impressive detail and clarity together with superb stereo imaging."
Mr G, Loddon, Norwich

"First four hours of listening after unboxing. I'm already very impressed: clear and crisp heights, charming mids and veeery deep bass. Good performance even in my rather little listening room (20sqm). Looking forward for the next improvements after burning in!"
