I’m considering buying a pair of PBN Montana EXP Prototype 2 speakers and I’m trying to find more information about them.

There seems to be very little information about this particular model online. Does anyone here know anything about them or have experience with these prototypes?

I’d really appreciate any information about the specs, drivers, when they were made, how they compare to other PBN Montana models, and especially how they sound.

If anyone has heard or owned a pair, I’d love to hear your impressions.

Thanks in advance!

Why not contact PBN and get all the info straight from the source?

I think it's a marketing post. He posted the same post on different hifi forums the last few days and in each instance it was his very first post.

Call me cynical, but I think it's a social media marketing move by PBN.
 
They look to be in business with an active website. I didn't know they built electronics. Seems the electronics are designed to compliment their speakers.

I didn't find anything on the model originally posted. Apparently Peter Noerbaek is known to make one off prototypes like that.

With that being said I think Mark's idea is pretty good in this case.

Peter also designed a power supply to replace the original power supply for the Technics SP-10 MKII table. I bought one for my SP-10 MKII table and it works perfect.

Didn't the prior supply work perfect as well? LOL, just messing with you.

I did see he rebuilds Denon turntables.
 
I've only heard Montana speakers once. The guy was dribing them with Vincent Audio. He told me what the speakers were I never heard of them and they didn't exactly get my attention. I thought they were some off brand. Then down the road I heard they were supposed to be a good brand, SMH. Could have been the room or the speakers needed better electronics.

This isn’t a marketing post. I’m picking up these speakers tomorrow, Friday, so we’ll see how it goes!

Supposedly, they were originally built for one of PBN Audio’s sales reps, who’s now retired and downsizing.

I already reached out to PBN but haven’t heard back yet, so I figured I’d post here in case anyone happens to know anything about them or has seen this particular model before.

Any information would be appreciated!

I thought the brand was dead, hadn’t heard a peep out of them since the turn of the century.

I’ve been doing a little more research on PBN Audio, and the more I read, the more interesting the brand gets.

They’re still active and selling speakers, and it seems like they have a small but very loyal following. From what I’ve found, people really seem to appreciate the sound quality, components, and overall build quality.

I currently have Tekton Enzo XLs, and lately I’ve been curious to see what else is out there beyond the brands and speakers you typically see in most audio stores. That’s actually how I came across PBN.

I’m still pretty new to the home theater and audio world, so discovering some of these smaller, less mainstream brands has been really interesting.
