The PMC Active Twenty5.24i is the largest active 2-way floorstanding speaker in the range, combining 200 W of internal amplification, an active crossover and a long ATL in a slim column.
A two-way speaker that sounds like a much bigger three-way design – that's the short description of the .24i. The long version needs a little more room space, but rewards you with an authority that's rare.
Why the Active Twenty5.24i?
Because everything here is a size bigger, without becoming unwieldy. 200 W of internal amplification per cabinet, a 6.5-inch mid/woofer and the longest ATL in the two-way range fill even large rooms with uncompromising dynamics. The active crossover ensures every driver is optimally fed – and all you need is a source with volume control, no amplifier stack.
What you hear
A grand scale: deep, precise bass down to 27 Hz, a wide, stable soundstage and effortless headroom at high levels. Despite the power, the .24i stays sorted and neutral – it plays big, but never coarse. It unravels complex passages as if it had all the time in the world.
Who is the Active Twenty5.24i for – and who isn't it for?
For large rooms and listeners who want fully-grown high-end sound in a slim, practical form. Honestly: in small rooms right against the wall it tends to overwhelm the acoustics rather than shine – the .23i is the wiser choice there. If you never push the bass, you're paying for reserves that go unused.
Our verdict
The flagship of the two-way Active range: big in sound, tidy in the rack. If you claim active always means compromise, you simply haven't heard the .24i yet. Feel free to change your mind.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an amplifier for the PMC Active Twenty5.24i?
No. Each cabinet has 2 × 100 W and an active crossover built in. All you need is a source that controls the level – a preamp or a network player with volume control. It connects either balanced via XLR or unbalanced via RCA.
What room size suits the Twenty5.24i?
For large listening and living rooms. The .24i is the largest 2-way speaker in the range, reaching down to 27 Hz thanks to its long ATL and effortlessly filling even demanding rooms. In very small rooms it would be oversized – the .23i or a bookshelf model fits better there.
Why does a 2-way speaker sound like a bigger 3-way design?
Because the long ATL and the 6.5-inch woofer deliver a depth and authority you'd normally expect from three-way columns. The active crossover feeds every driver optimally, so bass, mids and treble mesh seamlessly – without the complexity of a third way.
