Those are two different birds. The Spendor more relaxed, and the Proac faster and more holographic. If you hear them, you'll know pretty quickly.
ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1
Well I truly love my SP1's but a pair of Proac Response 2.5 has come up for sale locally and I am going to look/listen at them tonight. Anybody want to way in..... Is it a bit of a sideways move or do the ProAc's offer a bit more ,for instance in the sound stage dept. Thanks, All :)

When Dennis Had was still at Cary, he used ProAc speakers to voice his amps. On his recommendation and that of my dealer (Arnie, the founder of the original Audiogon), I got a Cary CAD301SE amp, a glorious 11 watts per side, that drove them to perfection. I still have them in my second system, with Ayre 60W. They are a very fine speaker, the main driver unit is superlative, and they go deeper than you'd imagine. |
Take a look at the review in Stereophile if you have not already. https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/196proac/index.html |
