Cremona Auditor, Decappo Or Proac 1sc?

I am looking for a monitor and thinking about these three. Can anyone give me some advise? I like the SF look the most but heard a lot of good think on the reference 3A and the 1sc being more tube friendly. Can anyone give me some advise? I like soft music, jazz and no rock. It will be for the bed room. I am using a SET 24w (845) amp. Will it be enough for these speaker? Any other good speaker I miss? Thanks.

the decapo is the best match for your amp..the sf and the proac prefer an amp with more power.all are good speakers.

Hello Waip7. Your 845 based amp will drive all of the speakers you are considering without a problem whatsoever.The proacs are very set friendly as well as the decapos. Although I have never heard the CA's with 845 based amplification.I have tried both the proac and the decapos with my 845's and they both completely disappear and make beautiful music.Tough decision to be sure!I should qualify that the proacs I had were the model 2's and would be my choice of the two....I am certain that you can't go wrong with any of them! All the best on your journey!

I've spent a fair amount of time with both the Proac and the DeCApo. The Proac is a better speaker, (partcularly in the midrange, highs and dynamically) but unfortunately your amp, contrary to what another poster said, will not drive them properly. The Proac is not as nearly efficient as the MM de Capo. You'd have to change your amp to use the better speaker.
I don't know what the Cremona is like, so I can't help you there.
