Hello.

Plan to buy PMC Twenty 22 into 23m2 narrow room (6.5 x 3.5).

I already have  Harman Kardon 255 AVR (8 Ohm, 66x2 true power, 14kg, preamp out). I am going to use it for about a month or two. Later going to buy a stereo amp and plug it into harman.

Will PMC sound bad only with this harman? What amp whould you recomend for this setup?

The 22's will not sound bad on the Harman - it has plenty of power and a surprisingly balanced sound. You will get more out of the PMC's with more behind them. A good thing to consider (esp.if you wish to keep the 255) is the Harman HK990. You can run this with the av amp to get the best of both worlds.

Tanks a lot! I even can't imagine that Harman can handle them well, but after your comment I have a hope it will sound well! Maybe I'll postpone an amp purchase   cheer

The 22's are great and will sound good with the power the Harman can deliver. There are improvements to be had though and you will get big gains investing in a stereo amp.  The 255 will more than keep you going though.
