  "advisor": {
    "best_for": "Professional recording, mastering, and post-production studios working in medium-to-large control rooms that need high SPL capability and extended low-frequency headroom, in either stereo or surround configurations. A good fit for engineers who already run (or want to pair) a high-power external amplifier such as PMC's own power amps and want a full-range passive main\/soffit monitor.",
    "who_should_skip": "Nearfield or small-room users, anyone wanting an active\/self-powered monitor with no separate amp, and buyers without a suitable high-power amplifier (roughly 250-900W into 4 Ohm) or the space for a 1.74m-tall, ~88kg-per-cabinet system. Also skip if you cannot accommodate the separate XBD bass cabinet and external crossover enclosures.",
    "fit_notes": "This is a passive monitor: it requires an external power amplifier (recommended 250-900W) and presents a 4 Ohm nominal load. It ships as a two-part system (main MB2S cabinet plus XBD bass-extension cabinet) with the second 310mm Radial driver adding 3dB of LF headroom below 380Hz. The 32-element 4th-order crossovers live in external enclosures that can mount to the rear of the XBD cabinets, and connection is via three pairs of 4mm sockets allowing single-wire, tri-wire, or tri-amp operation. Sensitivity is 91dB (1W\/1m) with a stated frequency response of 20Hz-25kHz.",
    "watchouts": "The manufacturer product page (pmc-speakers.com) was reachable only via cached search snippets during research due to a TLS certificate error, so manufacturer specs were confirmed through those snippets and corroborating retailers rather than a direct page fetch. Weight (88kg) comes from a third-party database (hifiverse.io), which does not state whether it is per cabinet or per full system, and that same source mislabels the recommended amplifier power as 'internal amplification' despite the speaker being passive - treat the 88kg figure and the 250-900W range as needing confirmation against PMC's official datasheet. RSPE Audio lists the model as 'no longer available,' suggesting it may be discontinued or special-order. No finish\/color, MPN, or GTIN was confirmed by a manufacturer source for this specific studio model, so none is asserted (a used Reverb listing labeled a pair 'Black,' but that is not authoritative for new stock).",
