{"product_id":"pmcactivetwenty5-22ioak","title":"PMC Active Twenty5.22i Bookshelf Speaker, Oak (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PMC Active Twenty5.22i is an active 2-way bookshelf speaker with a 6.5-inch woofer that combines internal amplification and an active crossover, doing away with a separate power amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big brother of the bookshelf models – and a genuine powerhouse. If you want to fill a larger room with sound without reaching straight for a floorstander, the .22i offers exactly the mix of substance and footprint sense you're after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Active Twenty5.22i?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 6.5 inches of cone area, a longer ATL and two internal 100 W amps per cabinet deliver a low end that stays clean, clear and powerful – perfectly matched to the precision tweeter via the active crossover. You save yourself the amplifier stack and the cable clutter too: all you need is a source with volume control. The electronics inside the speaker take care of the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgile, dynamic reproduction with decent depth down to 39 Hz. The .22i plays bigger than it looks, yet stays neutral and controlled. Voices are pinpointed in the room, the bass pushes without booming. The gain switch lets you match it to your source's sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Active Twenty5.22i for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor medium to larger rooms where a bookshelf speaker needs more authority without turning into a floorstanding column. \u003cstrong\u003eHonestly:\u003c\/strong\u003e in very small rooms right against the wall it can be a bit much – the .21i is the smarter choice there. And if you're after maximum stage height and the last word in depth, look toward the .23i or .24i.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most versatile of the two bookshelf models: enough power for everyday listening, compact enough for most rooms. If you think all-in-one means a sonic compromise, you simply haven't heard the .22i on a good source yet.

You just connect it to a source that controls the level – a preamp or a streamer with volume control, via XLR or RCA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Twenty5.21i and the .22i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe .22i is the larger of the two bookshelf speakers: a 6.5-inch woofer instead of 5.5 inches, a longer ATL and depth down to 39 Hz. It fills larger rooms more effortlessly and powerfully. The .21i stays more compact and suits small to medium rooms better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Twenty5.22i fit on speaker stands or in a shelf?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth work. Placed freely on its own stands you get the best out of the soundstage and bass; on a sideboard or console it works well too. What matters is some distance from the rear wall and a stable surface, so the ATL can fully unfold its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the PMC Active Twenty5.22i at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we match the whole system for you, not just the box: the right source, preamp, cabling and room placement.
