Description
The Fact.8 Signature is a 2-way floorstanding speaker from PMC, built around ATL (Advanced Transmission Line) technology, an acoustic transmission line principle that guides the rear wave of the woofer through an internal duct before releasing it at the front. This process extends low-frequency response without requiring an additional bulky subwoofer.
The speaker features two 140 mm long-throw woofers, paired with a 19 mm SONOMEX soft dome tweeter cooled by ferro-fluid. This liquid cooling allows the tweeter to handle more energy and retain its precision at high levels. The ATL line develops an effective length of 3 metres, a figure that reflects the internal acoustic work on the low-frequency pathway. The stated frequency response spans from 28 Hz to 30 kHz, with a crossover frequency between the drivers set at 1.7 kHz. The sensitivity of 89 dB (1 W/1 m) and the impedance of 8 ohms indicate a load that is relatively easy to drive for a modest to medium-power amplifier. The cabinet is a bass-reflex type from the Event Laminair range, and the speaker is bi-ampable, allowing separation of amplifiers on the woofer and tweeter for the most demanding setups.
This model is aimed at listeners seeking a floorstanding speaker capable of filling medium to large rooms without losing dynamics or tonal coherence. Its ability to deliver extended bass in a floorstanding format rather than a separate enclosure makes it a relevant option for installations where floor space remains limited despite the pursuit of deep bass.

What to check before buying used
The suspension of the two 140 mm woofers deserves close inspection: sagging or hardening of the surround affects bass performance and balance with the ATL line. Also check the integrity of the SONOMEX tweeter dome, which is sensitive to accidental contact, and listen for continuity in the transmission line duct, as a detached internal seal can cause unwanted noise or pressure loss. Finally, inspect the cabinet joinery (veneer, alignment, plinth fixings) given the speaker's substantial size.
