Moving from ProAc's to.......


I have currently the ProAc Response D15 and have reached a stage whereby I'm looking to get more where that came (which is probably a D25 or even D38) however I've got a problem in that the ProAc dealer where I'm from no longer has any interest to sell ProAc speakers.
I am very reluctant to make a "blind" purchase without listening first to the newer Response speakers which sadly means that ProAc are out of my shortlist.

This being the case I would appreciate responses from those of you who have owned or have an intimate knowledge of ProAc speakers and found "like characteristics" speakers that I should include in my audition short list.

Obviously, I am looking for speakers that best match my Rowland Concentra II Intergrated Amp (please refer to my setup for the associated equipment).

So far I have on my shortlist the Living Voice Avatar/OBX speakers as a must audition. What else should I include.

Have a look at Soliloquy. Their 6.2 resembles the Proac 2.5/1.5 but the cabinets are heavier. Or look at the Vienna Acoustics line; their cabinets are lighter. FWIW, I bought new Proac Tablette 2000 Signatures purely on spec and was not disappointed.
I had the Response 4s and in the process of upgrading to Kharma 2.3...Khara has lots of models so check them out: probably the 3.2 is more like the budget u are thinking. Similiarites are the glorious mid range, only Kharma even more so and much wider soundstage
Hi,

I'm using PROAC 2.5 with the Concentra 2 and an ARCAM fmjcd23.

I could not be happier with the sound and continue to listen to wonderful music for hours on end.

By the way before the PROACs I had Thiel 2.3 and did not like the sound at all. Way to bright.

The PROAC 2.5 are magic in this system
