What is the future for Proac Speakers ?


I have always enjoyed their speakers and have owned them in the past. However, from what I have heard, they are no longer being imported into the US due to distribution problems, the main engineer is no longer there and Mr. Tyler's future is in question. I also see an increase in Proac's being sold here on Audiogon. Does anybody know what's going on at Proac ????

Wow, thank you for the update, Mr. Tyler. I am at this very moment warming up an ARC Ref-75 to play my still baby (400-hours) ProAc D30Rs, which I love. Bought them from Audio Concepts in Dallas after listening to nearly every speaker in the city multiple times. I can testify to the transparency and emotional connection of these speakers, and the professional service (and listening space) at Audio Concepts. I'm glad ProAc is such a significant part of their inventory.

I guess what I really mean to say is: thank you for these designs. They are works of art.
Hi Stewart,
    I just auditioned your Studio 148 last week; I really didn't think I'd be able to afford speakers that good, natural, balanced & musical. Rather than showing off--they just got out of the way, and let all the emotion shine through. Should be in my home early next year.  Thanks,

Kirk

Hi everyone,

I’ve been loving my ProAc studio 148s which is the largest audio component dollar-wise I’ve ever purchased. I usually buy used (see my page for details about the 2 channel analog system for vinyl and AV playback I’ve put together plus a picture that usually receives high praise). After listening to some D20s at Hawthorne Stereo I decided I wanted to go with a speaker that had more control in the lower frequencies. I ordered my 148s from them without an audition as Hawthrone only has the Response Line on their demo floor.  The 148s are very controlled in the lower end (25hz) plus keep the lovely mids and highs that ProAcs are known to reproduce.

Also, I use the Soundocity SEV9 outriggers (also pictured) and recommended this upgrade for anyone using ProAc towers (both for sound and stability). Stewart, you should give Soundocity a call about possibly bundling these outriggers with your towers.

Great to hear from you Mr Tyler.
I have been using the Proac for the last 12 years. I had the ProAc d38 for almost 8 years but had to sell it due to move to a much smaller home. So now I am using the Response 2.5 in my main system, which I previously used it in my second system.
Currently trying to decide between the d20r and the d38r for my main system. I would love to get the d48r but just need a smaller foot print.
Tyler,
I'm curious why the carbon pro series was discontinued?  I have CP6's and I absolutely love them until I turn my system on and they disappear! Then I just love the music. They're stellar. 

I've owned a steady stream of Proac's, upgraded from D1's, D18's, D30R and currently own Carbon Pro 6.  Love them all.  They do so many things right. I've found they sound good with all kinds of amps, easy to place in room, and good with all types of music.  I'm so glad my dealer recommended them to me as they were not on my radar screen.  Until I listened!  

For those on a budget, smaller ProAc's crossed over to a good sub make a great relatively afforable system, and in many cases sound better than larger speakers.
