Hi Gunbei,

" It was around December 16th. 2002.

I had a posted a wanted ad here for a pair of Tab. 50 Sigs in which I recieved several offers. One for the Bird's Eye Maple versions which i never much cared for. Yes I've been following your responses - pun intended - both here and @ Audioasylum on our babies. I still love them & feel that I shall never outgrow them in the least. Their to my ears a little more extended in their higher freq. but not to the point of being bright. Just more extension on top over the older versions.

Have you ever considered mounting yours atop Sound Anchors 3 Post Monitor Stands??????????????. Man you've have to hear these two together. For an in - depth view of my opinions on this matter simply look at Audioasylum under my tag in inmate systems - el34eh@yahoo.com - See if we share views on all things ProAc in general. let me know?.

In the mean time Rubherenow ~ Don't sleep on these. They've been one of the most popular & best sellers in The Asian Culture for every since the came into production. Yes, I know there listening rooms are much smaller then ours on average. But I believe it's easier to fit a smaller speaker into a larger room - then putting a larger speaker into sometimes this very same room.
It's nothing more then balancing said speakers to obtain proper soundstage & depth within said soundfield. - In this case these are indeed MAGICAL."

Peace, EL34EH

My wife has non-audiophile but superbly musical ears. The Tab Sigs drove her from the room after 1 minute ("Like finernails on a blackboard") but the Response 2.5s caused her to stay up until 1:00am on a work night - we kept the 2.5s for over 7 years.

I have heard some of the larger ProAc models in various audio stores, but in-store the Tablette Reference 8's definitely tripped my fancy the most. Based upon this, I bought a pair of Tablette Reference 8 Signatures (in birdseye maple), and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. In fact, I am listening to them right now! In my office system, I have a set of Arcam FMJ electronics driving them, and the system is visually and aurally quite elegant.

Tom.

I have a question for you Tab Ref 8 owners. Do you know if those are available in Yew Wood?
