Active twenty5.23i

The 23 has long been the most popular model in our range – now the Active twenty5.23i builds on that success, combing a combination of weight and refinement in a still-compact floorstanding form.

Technology

DEEPER CLEARER CLEANER BASS & MORE

• Greater detail & more natural

• A full rich sound at any volume level

• Deeper bass from a smaller cabinet

The source of PMC’s legendary natural realistic sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading technology professionally proven all around the world.

ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit in a much more intelligent efficient way than speaker designs based on ported or sealed boxes.

Already our best-selling model in passive form, the Active 23i adds an active crossover and 2x100W amplification in each speaker to create an elegant floor-standing design even more capable of filling medium-sized rooms with transparent, authentic dynamics and effortlessly extended bass. With the choice of finishes shared across the Active twenty5i range, it blends unobtrusively into any room: reviewer Chris Kelly said of the passive 23i, ‘Pair them with a high-quality amplifier and a good source and you will never regret your purchase,’ and that’s just what we’ve done with the Active 23i, building in the amplification for a ‘just add source’ music solution.

The Active twenty5i series, combined with a preamplifier or any streamer with a volume control, will create a neat, stylish, world-class music system.
