ProAc fans?


I'm interested in trying a pair of Proac's, but would like some info. on the differences between the Response 1SC and Response 2 models as they seem to sell for about the same price. Is one substantially better sounding than the other? My current gear is a McIntosh MC7200 amp with a C712 pre-amp, which should match up well with either one.

The proac house sound is there
Thoughout the line, but the
Response 2 (or newer D2)is a
keeper for a moderately sized
room. More weight than the 1,
which will be audible on rock
And classical. A world class
monitor type for sure.
If your room is small you should do good with the 1SC I would think. I had both the D2 monitor and the D-15 floorstander. Overall I'd say I like the D2 better. The D-15 overwhelmed my bedroom and didn't quite do it in my living room. The Tablette monitor sounds pretty good too.
I have many proac pairs. Currently I do most of my listening, one pair at a time, with 1sc's and 140's. I also have a center channel 140. I play both of these pairs from two different all tube rigs. Room, heavily treated, is 11 x 12. I did try the Response 2 and the D2 in my rigs, but did feel they bettered the 1SC. I also still have, and play, tablettes and the EBT version of the tablettes which I got in the early 80's. I like the proac sound. I sourced all my proac's direct from a UK dealer, mostly due to the fact I wanted rosewood finishes, which only can be order in the UK. Enjoy the music.
