D200 drives PMC Speakers

[Harry.]

D200 - PMC FACT 8.

The presentation is quite forward and I would say neutral rather than warm or cold. The latest firmware 8 has enabled even greater clarity and a more fluid midrange. The system seems nicely balanced. Compared with the LS 50 I think you will achieve a bigger, more coherent sound with a more extended but controlled bass. My listening room is quite small but the Fact8 does not overpower with bass even with SAM. I listen to mainly classical but I do remember a demo at the Bristol show a couple of years ago with Fact 8's and big Chord amps belting out some very heavy rock, which my son was very impressed by. The Facts are to my mind an attractive speaker and the cabinets are really well finished. To sum up, I am very happy with both amp and speakers. Good luck in your search.

Would be interested to know what speaker cables you use Harry, and what your room is like.
We have very similar setups otherwis, apart from (possibly) ears of course.

At the moment I am using Ecosse MS 2.15 which are fairly simple solid core speaker cables and have worked pretty well with the D200. However I thought the sound was a touch on the bright side with the last firmware 7.1.3 so I swapped to some QED XT 300's which roll off the top end a bit. With v8 I'm happy with the MS2.15 again. My listening room is 12 x 11 ft and stacked full of vinyl, cd's and books not to mention furniture! Not much chance of flutter echo in here. How have you got on with the filters on the Fact 8? 

Cheers Harry
