It's certainly not a deal breaker for me but I have had one of my hypex repaired/upgraded under warranty by PMC (they did both of course!), so keep hold of your receipts for warranty stuff.
One other thing I've learnt over time is heat can be a bit of a killer over the years. Try not to keep them on all the time. I did that with my early ones but eventually PMC let me know that it can shorten the lifespan, not especially with Hypex but I'm careful about not leaving them on 24/7.
Ive boiled my options down to two speakers and need advice. Given the choice, which would you buy? new fully warrantied PMC Twenty5 23’s or lightly used KEF Reference 1s?
