PMC, which is based in the UK, has announced the release of the twenty.26 loudspeaker, the new flagship model in the twenty-series speakers. The line was originally created in 2011 to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary and is now comprised of the twenty.26 and five other models, including a center-channel.
Unlike the previous models in the series, which were all two-ways, the twenty.26 is a three-way design consisting of a 1” dome tweeter, a 2” dome midrange, and a 7” cone woofer. While the tweeter is the same one used in the other twenty-series models, the woofer and midrange are said to be created specifically for this design. Like the other twenty-series models, the twenty.26 features the company’s proprietary Advance Transmission Line (ATL) technology to extend the bass. The crossover points between drivers are said to be 380Hz and 3.8kHz (24dB-per-octave slopes throughout), and the entire system’s frequency response is claimed to extend from 27Hz to 25kHz. The twenty.26’s impedance is rated as 8 ohms, meaning it’s easy to drive and can therefore be partnered with a wide variety of amplifiers. Finishes for the twenty.26 are the same as the other twenty-series speakers: Oak, Walnut, Amarone, and high-gloss Diamond Black. As of yet, no North American pricing for the twenty.26 has been given.
