About the FB1+
The PMC FB1+ is an updated version of the original FB1 transmission-line floorstander, offering greater bass weight, control, and extension while retaining a neutral, highly detailed presentation. It is a two-way design using a doped 170mm bass/mid driver working into PMC's long ATL (Advanced Transmission Line) and a soft-dome tweeter, delivering wide bandwidth, strong dynamics, and precise imaging suitable for high-quality home audio systems. Closely related to the TB2+ model, it is informed by PMC's professional studio heritage but positioned as a domestic floorstanding speaker. The FB1+ corrected the earlier FB1's metal dome tweeter in favour of a soft dome for smoother high-frequency response. It is available in standard and matched-pair finishes.
