The PMC Twenty 26 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker that stands out for its dynamic performance and musicality. It features a 170mm bass unit with a cast alloy frame and a doped paper cone, a 50mm dome-shaped midrange unit, and a 27mm soft-dome tweeter. The speaker incorporates PMC's Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) technology, which enhances bass output by channeling the bass driver's backward energy to exit in phase with the main bass unit output. This technology provides high resolution and tonal accuracy at all volume levels. The Twenty 26 is known for its insightful yet refined balance, unfussy musical nature, strong dynamics, and impressive detail resolution. It has a frequency response of 27Hz to 25kHz, a sensitivity of 86dB/W, and an impedance of 8 Ohms. The speaker's design includes a unique tilt of about five degrees, which helps simplify the crossover networks by aligning the voice coils of the drive units more closely. The crossover points are at 380Hz and 3.8kHz, reflecting PMC's preference for steep filtering.
