The less expensive mid-driver is used in the OB1i and lower models. The PB1i, EB1i and higher models use the more expensive, heavier mid-driver. This is one of the main reasons there is a significant price jump from the OB1i to the PB1i. I own the EB1i's and have heard the PB1i's. The PB1i's are a fabulous speaker that won't dissappoint. I'm sure the IB2i's are great too.
Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ???
These speakers are all at roughly the same price point, but how do they compare in a high quality 2 channel audiophile system?
I have heard the 803d and PB1i with Bryston electronics (on two different occasions), and liked them both. I will soon compare them side by side at the same dealer.
There is scant information regarding the Spendor ST. Has anyone heard it? How does it compare to B&W or PMC?
Though Spendor has a venerable history, is it still in the same league as B&W or PMC?
