Best speaker that Proac ever made
Bcgator "Is a 12x12 room too small for the Response 3?"I have not heard the Response 3 in a room that size. So sorry I can't help you with an on point answer. It is a lot of speaker for a room that size and I think you would need some bass treatme...

That is a good point Ladok. I used the Response 2 with a number of amps (Quad 909, Cary Rocket 88, Roksan Caspian integrated) and it worked well with all of them. At the time I had a smaller (8 X 10 X 8) listening room and listened very near field...

Thanks Zd542. It took a long time to finally get a amp/speaker combination that I am satisfied with. Currently using Gold Lion KT-77 tubes in the Quicksilver V-4 
Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it?

Grinnell, I also heard the Response D40R with a Grommes phi26. It is a great sounding combination.I currently have a pair of Response 2.5 with Quicksilver V4 amps and it is a very good combination in my room.I have had a number of Proac speakers, ... 
Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star?
My Goertz cables came with the Zobel network, also explaining it was only necessary with some SS amps and not with transformer coupled tube amps. They sound good in my system
