Design Excellence

These ex-demonstration Avalon PM1.2 speakers represent the evolution of compact reference monitor design, featuring all-new bespoke drivers and a comprehensively revised crossover that elevates performance beyond the already exceptional PM1. Transferring sonic DNA from the prestigious £140,000 Tesseract into a beautifully proportioned package, the PM1.2 brings enhanced dynamics, transparency and precision to spaces where larger speakers simply cannot venture.

Our professionally maintained ex-demo pair arrives in pristine condition, having been carefully run-in to achieve optimal performance whilst preserving the flawless finish that makes these speakers as visually striking as they are sonically transparent. This Clearance Sale opportunity presents Boulder, Colorado craftsmanship at an exceptional value rarely seen in the UK market.

The Opportunity

Released in 2023, the PM1.2 advances Avalon's Precision Monitor range with completely new drive units and heavily modified crossover topology. Where the original PM1 impressed, the PM1.2 astounds - delivering greater dynamics, improved transparency, and enhanced weight that reviewers describe as "a sizeable step forward in performance in every area." The 94dB sensitivity (improved from 93dB) makes these monitors even more amplifier-friendly, singing with delicate valve designs yet handling powerful solid-state with commanding authority.

This isn't a minor update - it's a comprehensive reimagining. The new bespoke drivers feature enhanced excursion capabilities and refined materials for even lower distortion. The crossover benefits from Avalon's latest research, with upgraded internal cabling and components that extract every nuance from your music. At this ex-demo price, you're essentially getting PM2-level performance in the compact PM1 chassis.

Key Features

• High-efficiency 94dB sensitivity - Even more amplifier-friendly than the original PM1
• All-new 7.5-inch bespoke high-excursion mid-bass drivers - Enhanced dynamics and control
• 1-inch bespoke beryllium tweeter - Premium material for extended, effortless highs
• Heavily revised crossover network - New topology with upgraded components throughout
• Enhanced internal cabling - Premium conductors for maximum signal purity
• Non-reactive 4-ohm impedance - Ruler-flat below 200Hz for perfect amplifier coupling
• Time-coherent diamond-cut cabinet - Classic Avalon geometry optimised for UK rooms
• 34kg precision-damped construction - Perfect balance of rigidity and resonance control

Performance Excellence

Listen to the PM1.2 and you'll immediately understand why Audio Therapy describes the upgrade as transformative. The tonal balance achieves what reviewers call "incredibly even-handed" - treble that never shouts, bass that's clean, tight, extended and wonderfully textured without ever masking the musical message. The cabinet becomes acoustically invisible, disappearing into your room whilst projecting a soundstage that extends far beyond the speaker boundaries.

The PM1.2's party piece is its ability to reveal the recording venue's acoustic signature with startling clarity. Whether it's Abbey Road's warmth or the Berlin Philharmonie's grandeur, you're transported to the original space. Jazz legends like Miles Davis and John Coltrane have rarely sounded more cohesive - every player occupying their distinct position, every nuance of their interplay preserved. This enhanced transparency doesn't come at the expense of musicality; if anything, the PM1.2's improved dynamics make music more engaging, more visceral, more emotionally truthful than ever before.
