PMC Active Twenty5 23i Speakers

The PMC Active Twenty5 23i Speakers are available for demonstration in our Hull store.

PMC has unveiled the Active twenty5i series, a revolutionary step forward in high-performance home audio. Designed to deliver world-class sound with simplicity at its core, this range integrates advanced amplification and electronics directly into the acclaimed twenty5i speakers. The result? A streamlined system that appeals to both seasoned audiophiles and those seeking fuss-free, high-resolution music enjoyment.

Innovative Active Design

For over 30 years, PMC has been perfecting its active speaker technology in professional environments, where precision, transparency, and resolution are paramount. With the Active twenty5i series, PMC brings this expertise into the home, creating a system where all you need is a preamplifier or streaming device with volume control to unlock an unparalleled listening experience.

At the heart of the Active twenty5i series is its direct coupling design, a hallmark of PMC’s professional-grade active systems. Each speaker driver is powered by its own dedicated 100W amplifier, meticulously matched to its specific requirements. This direct connection between amplifier and driver bypasses the need for traditional passive crossover components, such as resistors and capacitors, that can introduce inefficiencies and distortion. Instead, the division of frequencies is handled in an analogue crossover before the amplification stage, ensuring each amplifier operates solely within the frequency range of its assigned driver.

The Benefits of Direct Coupling

The integration of direct coupling into the Active twenty5i series brings several performance advantages:

• Enhanced Control: The amplifier has a “vice-like grip” on the driver, delivering tighter bass, clearer mids, and more detailed highs.
• Improved Efficiency: By avoiding energy losses from passive components, the amplifier’s full power is delivered directly to the driver.
• Seamless Integration: The system achieves impeccable phase alignment and driver integration, resulting in a cohesive, natural soundstage.
• Reduced Distortion: Eliminating passive components prevents phase shifts and distortion, ensuring a cleaner, more transparent listening experience.

Elegance and Simplicity

Beyond performance, the Active twenty5i series redefines convenience and aesthetics. With its built-in electronics and amplification, there’s no need for separate power amplifiers or integrated amps, reducing the complexity and footprint of traditional hi-fi setups. Simply pair the speakers with a high-quality preamp or streamer, and you have a world-class system with none of the usual clutter.

Closer to the Music

By integrating professional-grade amplification and precision analogue crossovers into the twenty5i series, PMC has created a speaker system that brings you closer to your music. The direct coupling of amplifiers to drivers ensures breathtaking transparency and control, letting every nuance of your favorite recordings come to life.

Whether you’re rediscovering classic albums or immersing yourself in high-resolution streaming, the Active twenty5i series offers an elegantly simple solution that combines cutting-edge technology with timeless musicality. Just add a preamp or streaming device, and let the music take center stage.
