The twenty5.21 is proof that great things come in small packages. Don’t let its compact size fool you; this loudspeaker is nothing less than remarkable. Its complex ATL and Laminair vent mean that you get speed, weight and transparency, with the greatest bass extension of any loudspeaker this size.

Whether on a shelf or its performance-enhancing stand, the twenty5.21 excels with all types of music. Its articulate mid-range, clear, open highs and profound bass mean it can fill rooms both medium and small with astonishing ease.

"This is the second pair of PMC speakers I purchased, the Twenty 5.21. My first pair were the Twenty 5.22 a couple of years ago. The combination of Rega Elicit-R and the Rega Aethos is just too good. PMC speakers are certainly my end game speaker. They are so good that I already stopped counting the number of times these speakers have gotten to the bottom of my heart and made me shed a few tears, or bring back old deep memories or get me up to dance! PMC can elicit such emotions from the listener. They truly are my personal space ship, to go anywhere in time and space. My daughter who plays violin and cello has developed an excellent music ear for real instruments. Since the time my daughter turned 12 years old when I got my first pair and now that she is 14 years old, simply was stunned at the realism PMC speakers convey. She sat next to me and you could see the expression on her face and her jaw half opened at how amazed she was, all she could say was: it is so clear, you can hear the instruments and the cello perfectly, it is as if the artist is playing right in front of us Dad. Life is to be lived with passion and PMC speakers reminds us of how true this is. Thank you PMC team."
Mr A, Thornbury

"Great"
Mr D, HEREFORD

"I though I was happy with my twenty5 21's untill I got these home and heard the difference. They are exactly what I was hoping they would be, just alive with energy. The music shines, very happy. Great work to the team at PMC (and Trevor, who signed mine off). Warmest regards, Rob."
Mr R, Grimsby

"Très grande satisfaction. Excellent produit. Mariage réussi avec ampli Moon. Gardez le cap."
Mr R, Ste-Julie

"I have to say, straight out of the box....so so ! but just only after playing through these for an hour or so the improvement was outstanding and getting better with each time they are used. I reckon after 50 hours these two little boxes of musicality are going to well and truely blow me away !"
Mr N, PORTISHEAD

"They're like night and day. From my previous Speakers, i can hear far more information from the vinyl now"
Mr N, Stockport

"PMC are definitely my speaker of choice at home. Everything feels balanced and never dull/overexcited. ATL is a must-have feature for me, as is front porting."
Mr A, Sowerby Bridge

"I have owned a pair of twenty22 for nearly 8 years, so twenty25.21 are a no brainer for quieter/evening listening. PMC are definitely my speaker of choice at home. Everything feels balanced and never dull/overexcited. ATL is a must have feature for me, as is front porting."
Mr A, Sowerby Bridge

"Blown away by the sound quality for the size of speaker. I had the B&W 705 s2's but they were producing bass boom in my room so wanted to try the front ported PMC. The sound quality if far superior. Still some minor adjustments needed to my room but I am much happier. When I have more space I will try floorstanders for sure"
Mr S, Tunbridge Wells

"Sound is very fine especially on string instruments. Awesome, Many thanks."
Mr C, Seoul

"I'm impressed by the 21i's (combined with Rega Brio amplifier and Bluesound Node 2i). I find they offer a beautiful clear, open, well-balanced and unobtrusive sound. Very happy I chose these speakers."
Mr G, Soesterberg

"In my small attic room, my previous speakers were a little agressive and missing quality in the low end. Now with those PMC speakers, associated with Naim electronics, I have a superb low end, organic mids et sweet highs. Everything is more airy, organised, and balanced. Such a great product, I can't stop listening!"
Mr M, Rulles

"Bearing in mind the speakers have had less than 3 hours' use so far, initial impressions are: excellent soundstage, dynamic but not aggressive, surprising bass."
Mr T, Leintwardine

"nice detail. well made. very satisfied. good job."
Mr J, Seoul

"Absolutely detailed sound put something like Miles Davis on you feel you could walk up to each musician individually Just got back into my hi fi after an absence of 30 years And it’s so rewarding"
Mr J, SHEFFIELD

"incredible,the best word to describe these speakers, after hearing them at a friends several times ,i just had to have a pair !"
Mr M, MAIDSTONE

"I have bought these as a second system in a loft space where I do my cycle training. Having exchanged them for a Naim Muso. they will be part of the following system. Townshend Allegri +, Naim NDX2 + XPS, Nap 250DR, all strung together with bits of Townshend fractal and Isolda ( I have a much larger second system). I once had a pair of IMF TLS50IIs, looking forward to hearing what they sound like (I go on consistent reviews) who knows, maybe Ill change my Kef Ref5s :-) cheers Nick"
Mr N, Rotherham

"PMC Twenty5 21 speakers are just amazing."
Mr R, Cheshire

"A great replacement speaker for my bespoke hand crafted transmission line speakers. I was looking for something compact with a big speaker sound that could be a satisfactory replacement for speakers that I have loved for nearly 40 years. We plan to move house and needed something that would work in a downsized property. These PMC speakers really fit the bill. They are more elegant than my home crafted speaker. We are delighted with the sound and look."
Mr A, Street

"After owning a used pair of PMC twenty21 speakers for a few months, and being very happy with them, I bought a pair of twenty5 21 as an upgrade. I was expecting a small improvement, but after only one day I'm very impressed with the speakers. They can only get better as they are run in. For a small room I can't imagine I could get any better."
Mr A, Battle

"Very nice speakers that play and look very well in this size. I'm very happy. I also have a twenty5 model. 23 in walnut color. Each room is well filled with sound."
Mr K, Killarney

"My Twenty5.21's performing very well on (f.i.) the following parameters: Involving, musicality, accuracy, staging, stereo imagination, real listening monitoring quality"
Mr M, Apeldoorn

"The 25-26 range is outstanding with a clarity and openness that really appeals to me. The Centre speaker however, in my opinion, is the best value for money part of my system."
Mr S, Middlesex

"Perfect as a 'small', well-built, not too heavy bookshelf speakers. Add a decent proper subwoofer and you have a real quality system, a real pleasure to listen too, whatever the volume!"
Mr W, Stoke Bishop - Bristol

"I wanted some new speakers to connect to my Quad 99 pre & power amps + Quad cd & FM radio I first purchased a pair of pmc 25/23 floorstanders but because I had to place them close to a wall so I found them a bit boomy base heavy so I spoke to the guys at Sevenoaks and they suggested the 25/21 they were absolutely brilliant the sound is out of this world the only trouble is now its got me thinking my Quads are 20 years old so I am now thinking what would they sound like with modern day electronics. Yes ive got the up-grade bug."
Mr J, LEEDS

"I bought pmc speakers for my home cinema package having used them for many years in my stereo. I adore the sound they make and the way they always seem in control. power and precision matched with clarity."
Mr P, Radwinter

"Clarity and separation of instruments is excellent. Tight bass."
Mr G, Billericay

"Having bought a pair of Twenty5 22 speakers for my main system I have been so pleased with the sound and presence of the speakers that I have bought a pair of Tweny5 21 speakers for my second system."
Mr R, Derby

"Les PMC twenty5-21 sont des enceintes très musicales. A recommander"
Mr J, MURET

"I was recommended PMC by Marc from Fanthorpes in Hull. His graphic description of their attributes and clarity of sound prompted me to look PMC up online. The general opinion and reviews seemed to point to the Twenty5 21 speakers as exactly right for my requirements. They were delivered on Friday, and immediately I could hear that there was a huge improvement in sound on my previous setup. I'm very pleased with the sound, look and size - they're exactly what I hoped they would be. I very much feel that Marc has found me the speakers that will give me a huge amount of pleasure for many years to come."
Mrs S, Salisbury

"These twenty5 21s make up the final part of my PMC 5.2 setup. It seems a crime to use these as surrounds as they are truly brilliant speakers. Before mounting them as rears I tried them in place of my twenty5 23s and they were every bit as good. Amazing bass for there size, probably faster and punchier than my 23s but as to be expected the 23s go deeper. Adding a sub to the 21s made a very nice setup indeed. Typically great PMC speakers but wasted as surrounds, they make great surrounds but are capable of much more. If I could have a second system one day I know what speakers I'll use."
Mr J, ST. NEOTS

"The sound quality is brilliant for my sort of listening and the "look" is great. The twenty5's do not take up a massive amount of space in my medium sized study!"
Mr A, Bishops Stortford

"Sounds Great !!"
Mr I, Warrington

"Only had them 24 hour but enjoying them immensely."
Mr S, Stoke on trent

"Was stunned at the quality of the speakers on demonstration when coupled with NAIM amplification and high quality streaming source. The sound for size will be ideal for our living room."
Mr P, Buxton

"I have only had the Twenty5.21's for a couple of hours and they still need to be played a lot more, but already I can appreciate the lovely delicacy of the treble, the exacting soundstage and the effortless scale of such a small speaker."
Mr P, Ivanhoe

"Exceeded expectations. Blown away by the quality paired up with my Naim Uniti Star purchased at the same time. Many thanks."
Mr S, Leicester

"So far stunning sound for a "little" box"
Mr F, Aarau

"These work very well in a Surround set up with my Twenty5 24. Many Thanks to Mahmood at Audio-T Enfield for fantastic service and set up."
Mr S, LONDON

"Bought the Twenty5 21 with a Twenty5 Centre from Audio T Enfield. Love these speakers!"
Mr N, TIPTON

"Very happy with the product. Transformed my CD collection"
Mr G, Enfield Middlesex

"excellent sound from the beginning after 12 hours even better, i had my last speakers for 22 years celestion A1 and didnt think i could better the sound even after listening to some very respectful speakers until i heard pmc twenty5 21 think i will be keeping these for a long time rock on pmc rock on"
Mr P, Westhoughton

"A remarkable upgrade. Fantastic."
Mr W, Paarl, western cape

"Habe die Lautsprecher bei einem Preisausschreiben (HighEnd Regensdorf, Schweiz) gewonnen. Freue mich riesig über diesen Gewinn. Höre zum ersten Mal mit Kompaktlautsprechern, der erste Eindruck ist super."
Mr R, Urdorf

"So far so good. Very pleased."
Mr G, Manchester

"For our room the sound produced via our new 25.21's is absolutley perfect...I would happily recommend them to anyone who has a suspended wooden floor and needs to place them close to a wall in an alcove."
Mr P, Bolton

"Perfect surround speakers combined with Twenty 22 and center"
Mr E, Castricum

"I have the PMCs linked to a Linn LP12, Rega preamp and Naim amp. It is the sort of system that I have wanted for the best part of 30 years, and with the twenty5.21s now in place, I am very pleased!"
Mr M, Braintree

"Only had a couple of hours listening the the twenty5.21's but I'm hugely impressed. The have replaced my EB1i's that I have had to move on as I have downsized my listening room. THe PMC strengths are here in spades. Well done!"
Mr P, Loughborough

"the speaker is simply excellent."
Mr A, Harrow

"Fitted all the criteria I had in mind, hearing them in the showroom ticked the main box, the sound, Once home they confirmed I had made the right decision, in a word, superb."
Mr R, Derby

"lovely, thank you."
Mr O, Abingdon

"My second pair of PMC and they are everything I wanted, I still love the 2021's but the 2521's have a much fuller sound. They are a different sound, they bring out natural warmth to my ears. They have detailed power, but still retain that unique PMC speed accuracy and control. Yet again I'm very happy. After a hard day I play music to unwind, sometimes for hours and my ears never tire. Thank you to PMC for your hard work."
Mr R, Grimsby

"Fantastic! previously hidden instruments & sounds now appear as if live."
Mr A, Sandy

"They’re amazing speakers for the size. They produce some excellent bass, amazing timing and sweet treble. Can’t praise them highly enough. Fantastic job PMC"
Mr J, Exeter

"Sound brilliant look fantastic"
Mr M, Tonbridge

"I loved my 2021 for one and a half years and I've changed it to the 2521 which I hope to love for the next 20 years. When I listen to the 2521 its like I´m sitting at a concert on Gods right knee......"
Mr S, Copenhagen

"I was very impressed with the Twenty5 series when I first heard them demonstrated. Having now added a pair of Twenty5.21's to my own system, they exceeded my already high expectations. Amazing level of detail and balanced sound from such small boxes. They look fantastic too with a very high quality finish."
Mr T, Ickenham

"Excellent speakers for use in our garden room with a Naim Atom and TQ black speaker cable. Holds it's own against the front room system which cost ten times as much a few years ago. But we do love Bryston amps......."
Mr A, Ellesmere Port

"Still running the Twenty5 21s in at the moment but sounding very good so far. Also very happy with FB1 floorstanders bought several years ago."
Mr C, Bromsgrove

"Too early to tell but 1st impressions are fantastic! Ask me again in 3 months."
Mr P, Huddersfield

"Fantastic product"
Mr V, GIOIA DEL COLLE

"I previously purchased the original PMC DB1's (which I still have). They were / are a great little speaker. I've only just got the twenty5 21's so not run in yet but already can hear better bass and clarity."
Mr G, Bournemouth

"These are small speakers with the right amount of bass for my small room. The control and clarity of the instruments in the music is perfect. Music that previously sounded a jumbled mess to the point of not being enjoyable, even though I love the artist, has been straightened out and I can finally hear what is going on!"
Mr P, Sandy

"I am in the burning in stage with these speakers but already these are a major improvement over my previous pair bringing out the quality of my Primare CD player and Amplifier and look forward to them reaching the quality shown in the demonstration at Analogue Seduction who selected these as speakers you have to hear. I am very pleased with the quality of construction and look forward to re-discovering my CD collection again."
Mr R, Ely

"The pair of PMC twenty5 21s performed very well in demonstration against stiff competition. I have only just taken delivery of the new pair, so they are still in their running-in phase. But they already show a refined sound with excellent clarity through the frequency range. I look forward to listening to them when they are fully settled in."
Mr J, Ripe

"I have purchased these twenty5 21's to replace some older PMC Gb1i's. As I don't have the room for larger floorstander's I decided this time to go with stand mount speakers. Placed about 15cm from the wall on Partington stands, these little PMC's really sound superb. I'm running Arcam CD27 and an A39 Amp. Once spinning a disc, after a track or two, I realise just how drawn in to the music I have become, which leads to playing disc after disc. Thanks in large to these PMC's my music has become such an enjoyable listen, and lets face it that's what its all about."
Mr N, Derby

"I love my new PMC twenty5.21 speakers. I am looking forward to playing all my old records again! What a beautiful sound."
Mr A, Ipswich

"Ondanks de moeilijk kamer waarin de speakers staan presteren zij optimaal met een grote sound stage en een zeer gedetailleerd beeld met een prachtig midden een strak en zeer detail rijk laag en een hoog om van te watertanden, wat vooral opvalt is de natuurlijke klank van de zang en instrumenten."
Mr H, Ferwerd

"The most dynamic full and controlled sound I've ever heard. Very happy, with both the product and the dealer (Fanthorpes/Dave). True quality and i now recommend PMC to friends and family. Thank you."
Mr R, GRIMSBY

"Truly amazing. Great job and thank you to all at PMC!"
Mr J, Sutton

"The twenty25.21 provides a balanced and coherent sound, with good bass and soundstage for a speaker of this size. Its very musical and pairs well with my other kit, which is an Arcam A39 amplifier and Naim CD5si CD player."
Mr S, Preston

"Crisp clarity, wide and even-sounding dynamic range, very effective stereo separation. Excellent human voice reproduction. Warm music reproduction."
Mr P, Bishops Waltham

"Well seem very good, only listened for an hour so far"
Mr B, Essex

"They do seem to be getting better with every use, great product and sounds brilliant. Paired with Arcam FMJ A29 amp and Arcam FMJ cds27 disc player with Rega planner 3 deck."
Mr T, Southampton

"Only owned them a day so far, but they are stunning! Looking forward to them bedding in over time."
Mr S, Worcestershire

"I have some Fact.8's on my main system which are fabulous. Hope the Twenty5 21's will be great on the bedroom system!!"
Mr A, Tunbridge Wells
