Music for York House

Relative price

above typical

Among the 26 loudspeakerss in the catalogue, this one is above typical.

A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.

What it is

PMC twenty5.22i is the larger of the two i-series standmounts; extended transmission line gives 39 Hz bass with 89 dB sensitivity. Active variant (built-in 2× 100W Class D) exists but not catalogued — passive speakers only per audit scope.

Voicing — The-Ear: "incredibly revealing in a subtle and nuanced fashion... it lets you hear right into a deep and solid image with pretty much everything in the mix being clear and well defined". Stereophile-style monitor presentation. Voicing camp: balanced/reference, monitor-leaning (similar to 21i but more dynamic capability and bass extension).

CAVITY FIT: 412mm H × 370mm D — exceeds BOTH height (324mm max) and depth (285mm max) constraints by significant margins. NOT cavity-compatible. Catalogued for §9 reference and as benchmark for monitor-school voicing comparisons; NOT entered into system competition for this build.

CAVITY HEIGHT+DEPTH INELIGIBLE (normalised flag 2026-05-12 per constraint audit): both height (412mm vs 324mm max, +88mm) and depth (370mm vs 285mm max, +85mm) violations already documented in the CAVITY FIT note above; this added note carries the standard "INELIGIBLE" keyword for consistent filtering with Wharfedale/Graham/PMC-21i entries.
