PMC OB1i feedback


Has anyone listened to the PMC OB1i ? And has anyone compared them to the model below them..the FB1i ?

Are they a good step up from the FB1i ? How do you find the OB1i. Laid back, forward, dynamic etc ?

I listen to rock and blues and want something with some dynamics and a little excitement along with the neutrality and accuracy.

Yes. The 24s are fantastic speakers but they are slightly more forward sounding. I prefer the ob1i to the 24 especially for rock.
I'm ultimately trying to decide between the FB1i and the OB1i and if it is worth the $2K difference.
I really enjoy my FB1i Signature speakers, but you have to move up to at least the OB1 to get the PMC dome midrange, which is part of pmc's "claim to fame" - but then you have a 3-way crossover. Without the more complex crossover, the FB1i is more sensitive, so all things being equal, you might have to spend more to power ob1's sufficiently for your purposes.
