PMC Twenty5.23i

So what did What Hi-Fi? think of the twenty5.23i?
The team at the world’s leading hi-fi magazine have just finished listening to the new twenty5.23i and here’s what they had to say about them….
 
The looks
“We love the Twenty5 23i’s form factor. They’re such a neat design and are built beautifully. Thanks to extensive internal bracing, the compact cabinet feels impressively rigid and it has nice, crisp edges. It’s available in four standard finishes – walnut, oak, white silk and diamond black – and looks smart in all of them.”
 
The sound
“These Twenty5.23is prove as unfussy as their predecessors when it comes to positioning. If anything, they are even easier to place thanks to an impressively coherent presentation that stays consistent as we move away from our listening sweet spot.”
“There’s no doubt that these PMCs are significantly clearer and more transparent than their much-admired predecessors.
“There’s a good amount of punch and more bass weight than the small cabinet and mid/bass driver might lead you to expect.”
 
The verdict
“These 23is are clearly better than their predecessors, and if you are after high quality small floorstanders, they would still be high up on our list of recommendations.”
