cn11.......I have had the PMC EB1i's for almost three years now, and absolutely love them. They are able to reproduce music in a transparent and neutral fashion, while playing softly or as loud as you would care to play them. They handle dynamics that are strikingly real at all volumes. The sound stage is well produced, stable, and thoroughly involving, and the transmission line loaded cabinet produces strong, solid, low distortion bass output well below 30Hz. Every day I look forward to listening to the PMC's, and that is the best measure of all. I turn my system on about 10:00 AM, and shut it off about midnight. Zero listener fatigue. The speakers are amazing. I don't see myself replacing them with anything. I have auditioned many fine speakers, some costing over three times the EB1i's price, and have not been moved to consider moving to a different speaker. I am very pleased with the PMC EB1i speakers. I can highly recommend them to anyone considering a top quality speaker purchase. I also think they are a very attractive speaker. Mine are finished in a beautiful cherry veneer on all sides.
