Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler

I've been a happy long time ProAc monitor owner. Specifically, Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures.

However, I've been wondering about other well regarded makes of monitors and even floor standers especially those by Totem, Soliloquy, and Tyler and how they compare tonally to ProAcs, in general.

What I enjoy about ProAcs is their blend of warmth with detail and their outstanding soundtaging and imaging. I've compared my monitors directly to Sonus Faber Concertinos and Vienna Acoustics Haydns and preferred the ProAcs for their focused yet romantic nature.

I listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly favor genres with acoustic instrumentals and vocals, and I'm finding that given a choice I'd favor a nice full midrange over a sonic character many might consider more correct.

I'd appreciate any Audiogon experiences relating what they changed to from ProAcs or vice versa. Or any opinions of perceived differences between ProAcs and other brands that I might like.

Thanks for your help,
Dean

From my listening experience with totem, Low volume playing are their main strenght. Except the forest that can play louder, below that (hawk,arro) are impressive at low volume but not as much at high volume.

I have considered totem but my choice ends up with the forest for that reason. IMO the proac D15 are better for the same price so that will be my next purchase.
