Just thought I'd post a quick follow up on my Proac D-30's. I have
had them for a little over a month and overall I'm very pleased. There
still breaking in. They sound a bit tight out of the box but over time
there starting to loosen up and the sound-stage is getting larger.
I am currently using a pair of Manley Snappers to power them and was
pleasantly surprised to find that I could run them in Triode mode (30W)
without compromising dynamics much at all. In my setup they actually
sound better in Triode mode than in Ultra linear.
I'm currently testing speaker cables right now. My two favorites so far are the Nordost Heimdall 2 and the Clear Day Double Shotgun cables.
Of the two right now I have a slight preference for the Clear Day cables
as they match the Heimdalls pretty closely in performance but have a more lively presentation which I prefer.
The Proac's have a very inviting sound, very musical and refined without
any harshness or brightness. At the same time there very detailed speakers as well. They sort of remind me of a pair of JM Reynaud Offrandes I heard many years ago at RMAF. I still have many more system changes coming but overall I'm really happy with what I'm hearing
