Review 3 of 8
Price Paid:
$800.00
from stereo discount cent Summary: these speakers have changed what i expect out of speakers,
bookshelf or floorstanding. i would never again buy speakers that
dont include built in sub woofers/amps. having truly full range
speakers (these are rated down to 22htz) will alter the way you
listen to music and movies. i normally use a deftec pf15 subwoofer
with my pm500's to get really low and loud...i was recently forced to
use the pm500's w/o the seperate sub and was again thoroughly
impressed by the bass coming from these small cabinets. not only is the
bass clean and low, it is integrated perfectly with the clear and mellow
mids an highs. keep in mind also that my amplifier has to only powere
the mid driver and the tweeter, alowing you to use a less powerful amp
to drive these powerful speakers. i could write for ever on the advantages
of built in subs, but these spekers do everything well. they image
with depth and precision, creating a wide and deep soundstage. highs
are apparent without being bright and mids are perfectly blended into
the mix...voices are crisp and accurate. wow, over all great speakers
for the money and the size....i had paridigm monitor 5v2's before and
loved them, but they could not come close to the pm500's in terms of
bass clarity and well blended mids highs and lows. ok, go listen to as many
speakers as you can, trust your ears and good luck Strengths: great speaker, stero subs will change the way you think about music and movies.
dont need a seperate sub if you dont crave huge bass
