These were bought new by me in 2019; I am the original owner. I am selling these speakers since I have upgraded. These speakers have a tight bass due to the transmission line, and an authoritative balanced sound across the frequency range.I have all the original boxes and parts it came with, so c...
Fair ask: A$4,500 is in the sensible zone for a clean pair of Twenty5.26s, though I’d still want to compare it against recent local selling history before calling it a steal. Against new pricing for the current twenty5.26i at around A$17,318, this sits at roughly a quarter of replacement cost, which is exactly where a strong used ask often lands for PMC’s bigger floorstanders.
What makes it appealing is the core PMC recipe: fast, highly articulate mids, real scale, and the ability to disappear when set up well. The Twenty5.26 is one of those speakers that rewards good amplification and room placement, so a well-kept example can be a genuine long-term buy if the drivers, finish, and plinth/spikes are all intact. If it’s been cared for and includes the original boxes and accessories, that adds real value and makes A$4,500 easier to justify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
