Speaker question

I have a Nord class D 227 wpc tri- mono amp to run my front 3 channels. It does have an upgraded op amp buffer. Trying to decide on the L and R. Proac D30r’s or 20r’s…. ATC SCM 40V2’s. My center channel is a paradigm 600c. The Proac’s tend to be expensive. Coastal NC. No way to demo.

The ProAcs excel at disappearing and portraying an expansive 3D soundstage with an expressive midrange, and they may be a little more forgiving of lesser recordings yet without lacking detail.  The ATCs possess better dynamic power and will be a little more revealing of faults in recordings and are likely more forgiving in placement and needing space to shine.  They are both excellent but very different speakers, so it really depends on what you’re looking for but they definitely are not substitutes for one another.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.

Appreciate the response. Again, unfortunately I cannot demo. Would rather go with Proac’s, but found a pair of the ATC’s at a good price….. 1/2 of Proac prices. Regards,Leon

Not sure why you are asking advice then…binary decision…both are good choices so either go for broke or go for the deal.
