While Rob, Ron, and I were setting up the M66, I made the mistake of fumbling with my phone as it was feeding a Rush song—I think it was “The Spirit of Radio”—to the M66 via Qobuz Connect. Somehow I made the M66 crank up to full volume. That’s 700 hard-core, solid-state watts. I almost shat myself. It was insanely loud, the loudest thing ever. Jet-engine-at-close-range, air-raid-siren loud. The right woofer bonked into its stops with a sharp crack. It only took a couple of seconds for me to fumble the volume back down, but I thought for sure I’d destroyed the MB2s.

I thought back to something Doug Schneider had told me. PMC co-founder Peter Thomas had worked in the BBC’s R&D department, and one of his duties was to evaluate all of the professional monitors on the market. This involved testing many to the point of destruction to find their limits. If indeed I had smoked the MB2s, I hoped Peter and his son Oliver Thomas, who’s co-CEO along with Tom Loader (son of PMC’s other co-founder, Adrian Loader), would cut me some slack . . .
