ProAc 1 SC vs. ProAc D1

hi,i have owned the 1sc for 12years had the D1 in my house for 10 days. i do think the 1sc is better, just because so called driver cabinet exc. have been upgrated does not make something better.ever here the expresion if its not broke dont fix it.currently i am a harbeth owner. good luck

Dmastri, you proved the point of several posters. Unless the pair you have was used and already appropriately broken in, it seems that they require significant break-in and maybe your 12 year old pair had more breakin time than the 10 day one? Again, I have owned BOTH and the D1 had deeper more refined bass and seemed to disappear more easily....although both are benchmarks in this regard. To each is own.

I agree the 1sc is better than the D1 and think the sig 8's are better than both.

I think you guys need to specify what kind of components you listen to Proacs with. They reveal everything starting from the source components. They completely take on the personality of the amp and source driving them since they are freaky transparent. I have had some brightness problems (i am very sensitive to it by the way) and some thinness in the midbass with 8 Signatures for example driven by Primare. I would love to get your opinion on which proac would sound least bright or sweet with Naim gear. Thanks

The 1Sc with its scanspeak drivers had more matured and natural midrange and treble as well. I have heard the response D2 and thought it to be just another speaker, nothing "Proac" about it.
