I can't afford the PM1 anyway. Its $1000 more then Im willing to spend vs the S2 I'm getting. That said I also read someone auditioned the PM1 and said it sounded terrible on the amp that was driving it. Apparently these speakers are picky on what power amp is used. They need power- lots of it. I'd love to stay with B&W, but their speakers have basically priced themselves right out of the market with their higher end speakers. The PM1 is about the same price as a S2, but with the S2- I can find them used. Where as the PM1 has only been out less then a year and no one would be selling a used pair yet- especially at the price Im paying for my S2 speakers.
