SOLD ELSEWHERE: PMC MB2SE 3-way Transmission-line speakers

57John · April 30, 2024

These are massive and massively impressive speakers.

The PMC MB2SE is renowned as one of the best large-scale speakers PMC has produced. I am told that this speaker was loved at Carlton Audio and was the staff's favourite.

These speakers effortlessly delve into the depths of 20 Hz, delivering a rich and immersive sound experience. Their clear and impressive mids and uppers extend all the way up to 25 kHz, ensuring every note is heard with precision and clarity.

I have thoroughly enjoyed having these speakers since I purchased them from the owner in Canada. They cause people to dance immediately when they hear music played on them. These speakers will be sold with my silver Tellurium Q Ultra Silver jumper leads (photos below) worth $1320 (https://www.classaaudio.com.au/jumper-cables/3499-tellurium-q-ultra-silver-speaker-jumper-cables.html).

It's time for these speakers and me to move on.

Design:

Coming from PMC's MB series and studio monitors, the source of PMC’s legendary natural, realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology, professionally proven all around the world. ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent, efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes.

Reviews:

"By far, the new MB2 SE surpasses the sound quality of all my previous models. Paired with the Bryston 28B cubed amps, the sound is full and detailed, with a huge sound stage. The bass is so deep and powerful but not overpowering. The clarity in the mids and highs is outstanding, with no glare or brightness."

"PMC has helped us create a listening lounge that sounds incredible, where people will want to spend their time because it is special all the time." [https://www.pmc-speakers.com/products/consumer/se-passive-series/mb2-se#]
