Is A$3,000 a bargain for a near-new pair of PMC Twenty5.23 floorstanders, and does it beat the typical used market? Yes, this is a strong deal. New PMC Twenty5.23i speakers (the updated version) retail around A$7,900 in Australia, and even the older Twenty5.23s typically list new for roughly A$6,000–A$6,500. Used pairs of the original Twenty5.23s generally appear in the A$2,400–A$3,200 range, placing this A$3,000 ask right near the median but with the “like_new” condition pushing it into excellent value territory—especially if it includes original spikes, grilles, and boxes.
The Twenty5.23 is widely respected for its speed, transparency, and sophisticated midrange, delivering greater bass extension than the 21 while staying compact and elegant. Its 28Hz–25kHz response and 86.5dB sensitivity make it versatile across rooms and amps. At this price in near-mint condition, you’re getting a well-loved, high-performance speaker that pairs beautifully with quality integrateds or separates, with no material caveats to flag unless the listing omits accessories or shows wear inconsistent with “like_new.” This is a clear buying opportunity for a fellow enthusiast.

PMC Speakers, founded in 1991 in the United Kingdom by BBC engineer Peter Thomas and FWO Bauch engineer Adrian Loader, emerged from a shared frustration with the limited options for accurate studio monitors. Dissatisfied with commercial speakers for both professional and home use, the duo developed proprietary transmission line technology in their garage, culminating in prototypes like the BB5—"Big Box"—quickly adopted by the BBC Maida Vale studios. Hand-built in their Luton factory, early models such as the active BB5-A and compact LB1 established PMC's heritage in precision engineering, blending broadcast expertise with a passion for uncolored music reproduction.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, spanning professional studio monitors, high-end hi-fi systems, and compact domestic designs, all leveraging advanced transmission line bass loading for exceptional clarity and dynamics. From flagship mastering references to accessible home models, every cabinet undergoes rigorous matching to reference standards, ensuring structural integrity and component performance without venturing into amplifiers, DACs, turntables, headphones, or cables.
PMC commands a commanding reputation in the high-end market, reigning as the reference choice in elite studios like Metropolis Mastering, Capitol Studios, and broadcasters worldwide, including the BBC. Artists from Prince to Stevie Wonder and labels like Decca have relied on them, underscoring their dominance in professional audio while appealing to discerning hi-fi enthusiasts seeking studio-grade transparency at home.
