Sirs, What is your opinion of this monitor and how does it compare to other Proac monitors? I am about to lay down the cash and need to get some feedback on the sound quality. Thanks for the input!! I am also trying to find some specs on this monitor too. Mike
I have owned this speaker since 1987. Very good little monitor. Not a lot of bass, can be a little bright on some material (those dang soft dome tweeters you know!). But has excellent soundstaging and depth in my room. Not big on dynamics and impact, but this is not what the speaker was designed for.
Not sure how it compares to newer proac's as I don't have never heard them.
The little instruction booklet with them is short on specs, but gives a very optimistic ~30hz as the lowest bass. I'm going from memory here. Measured with my RS dB meter they go down to ~70 hz in my room and not much else below this. I think the sensivity is ~85 db/1m, but have no problem driving them to loud levels with my Creek CAS4040 (30 w/c) int. amp.
But the mid range especially voices are wonderful.
Just for giggles I am going to hook them up to my Sonic Impact T-amp and see how it sounds. This amp performs much better than expected with my B&W DM601s3's and there 88 dB/m.
Your description of the Super Tablette does sound a lot like the newer ProAc monitors. Overly optimistic low frequency extension specs, great midrange, moderate sensitivity, etc...
Regarding your experiment, sometimes just for giggles leads to something special, heheh. Good luck!
