if you got this far you know what these are
£ 2,250 new and boxed - bargain
95% of the PC-1 , some say the same

Being familiar with the PC-1 that costs almost £2,000 more than Air Tight's PC-3, Hi-Fi News came to the conclusion that they just had to overlook the latter's price. It's undoubtedly expensive by normal standards, but considering the fact that they could barely tell the two apart in terms of sound quality, they certainly think it's worth the price
