Proac D48R
Milpai,The Clear Day jumpers are an excellent choice. I'm using those on my Proac D-30R's.I got to demo the D-48R at Audio Revelation. I brought my Manley Snappers along to have some point of reference. The rest of the equipment was provided by Ja... 
Proac D48R
Congrats Milpai, got to hear the D-48R's briefly and was very impressed. Agree with itzhak1969, replacing the stock jumpers is a must and yes the Proac's do take a while to break in. At about 100 hours you'll get a better idea of what they sound l... 
Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?
One thing to consider might be going the modded player route. Modwright can modify either the Marantz SA8005 or the Oppo 205. I have the modded Marantz player and its really quite impressive andwhen you factor in the cost, even more so.  
recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat
I owned as McCormack DNA 500 for a while and it never gothot. One of the cooler running amp's I've owned.  
McCormack DNA-750
One option to consider is getting a DNA 500 and sending toSteve McCormack for modifications assuming he still does that. His mod's to his earlier amps have received very favorable reviews byowners. Good luck 
Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
Kevin,Any chance you might be able to record the event for your youtubechannel? I certainly would be  
Upgraded to Proac D20R
joffres,I have the 1.5AP1D. They are screw in replacements for the originalspikes. 
Upgraded to Proac D20R
Great choice on the D-20R. I auditioned that before I settled on the D-30R.  One of the things that impressed me most about the D-20R wasits imaging. Easily one of the best I've heard period. Speaking of spikes..while the stock spikes on the Proac... 
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
@pts. It was a dealer demo. From what I recall he was demoing Elacspeakers. The Tekton's were sitting off to the side wall. I asked if theywere planning on playing the Tekton's at some point but the assistant who was there said she wasn't sure. To... 
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
Went to the show on Saturday. I was interested in hearing them aswell but unfortunately they were demoing other speakers when I got there. Kind of frustrating as I was interested in knowing whatall the fuss was about.  
Proac Rake angle?
Agree with Jperry as well. I replaced the jumper bars on my D-30Rwith Clear Day Cables jumpers and the difference was noticeable. Probably didn't hurt that I'm using Clear Day cables too.  
After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc
Congratulations on the Proac's. I got a chance to listen to the D-48R'sbriefly and was very impressed. If I had the room for them they would be on my list. I ended up with the D-30R's and have been extremely pleased with them. Like you, I wasn't t... 
B and W: CM10 S2 vs 805 D3 with a sub
I owned a pair of B&W Signature 805's which I then integrated with a Velodyne DD10. I did get it work but it never quite sounded  as coherent and seamless as a floor stander. I eventually sold the Velodyne and just let the 805's go solo. Those... 
Good Speakers with Pass XA30.5 Power Amp?
I have a Pass Labs XA30.8 and its currently powering my Proac D-30Rs. They are an easy load for that amp and match well together IMO. 
Proac Response D40R or D48R
Randyhat,If you have the room size for a D-48R I think its worth the extra $$. It takes all the strengths of the D-30R and expands on them. Better dynamics, more resolution and a completely  effortless sound. That being said, for my room the D-30R...
