Tony,
Good to hear power is not an issue with your OB1's. Most PMC speakers can go really loud and rock the house, especially FB1+'s and above.

I've got the LB1 Signatures which was the replacement to the Classics. I certainly liked them a lot with their neutral and clean presentation. Quality speakers no doubt as they were being used in some recording studios worldwide. The only weakness they have is deep bass but I have compensated this with the employment of a sub. They were discontinued just recently as Dynaudio has stopped supplying their drivers to PMC(the LB1's use Dynaudio drivers).

The PMC OB1's are great speakers. I wonder how your YBA's 75W is in driving them. They proved to be quite a difficult load I presume.

I am actually in the verge of getting the LB1 Signatures from my local dealer who is clearing them at a discount. From my understanding, the FB1+'s and OB1's utilize Vifa drivers while the discontinued LB1's use Dynaudio drivers. I can agree that the bass on OB1's is very good. Even on the diminutive LB1's, the bass is excellent and goes deep. In direct comparison with the B&W N805's, the bass is much better, the overall sound more controlled, and the sound of electric guitar's jammin more real. Awesome with Bryston electronics.
