Opinions about upgrade


Hello all, 

This is my first message, im very happy to be here. 

I want to upgrade my proac d18 speakers. I like them, but i wanna a better speaker. My amp is hegel h160. I have some speakers in my mind like Spendor d7, Graham ls5/9 and harbeth super hl5+. I have not auditioned them so far. I want to hear your opinions about this upgrade. Thanks in advance.

If you like the proac sound but wish to improve soundstage & frequency response, ATC is an obvious contender, a 20, 40 or used 50.
Generally, of the ones you mention, the bigger Spendors & Harbeths (30 etc) offer a more complete sound in a similar style, i.e. better frequency response.

Really good suggestions.  I’m launching in a completely different direction.  Your Hegel shows Fixed/Variable Out.  ATC speakers were suggested.  Consider the ATC active for that much money.  Smarter people than me weighed in on my review of the ATC 40 active.

Hello again,

It was not on my list but I see some ATC suggestions, could my hegel h160 drive these 85 db speakers?
