"It's roughly 20 years since PMC – the initials abbreviate Professional Monitor Company – first appeared on the Hi-Fi speaker scene. Since then, the company has enjoyed consistent growth alongside a steadily enhanced reputation in both the Hi-Fi and studio monitoring fields, with an inexorably expanding range of models to suit all manner of listening environments and requirements, such as the new fact.8 loudspeaker.

Apart from obvious distinctions in surface finish, some are more clearly oriented towards home use and others towards the studio. Despite this, plenty of common ground has given the brand a solid and coherent identity that treads a well-judged line between performance and value for money."
