ARC Amp for ProAc Response 2.5?

You already have a CJ pre. Try to buy one of CJs Premiere series amps. AR is a good match with Proacs but CJs are magical with it.

I have 2.5's with AR VT100 MkII -- absolutely phenomenal. Although the CJ is a fine preamp, however, I have found the conventional wisdom that you get the most out of AR amps only when coupled with AR preamps to be true. For this reason, I'd strongly suggest auditioning some CJ power...

I just purchased the Jeff Rowland Concentra Integrated amplifier to match my ProAc 2.5 Speakers. I listened and listened and decided I liked the Concentra. To my ears, the music just appeared and the equipment vanished. I suggest you try a listen your self. It sounds excellent on all types of music. Cheers.......

I have the ProAc 2.5's paired with CJ Premiere 12 amps and love the sound. Its very smooth and sweet, and produces a huge, well defined soundstage. The system does lean a little to the warm side (my preference), but not enough to take away from the speaker's natural liveliness. A great match for orchestral, jazz and folk music (my tastes), adequate for rock and techno. These speakers have the ability to sound good with a variety of electronics, although the best reviews I've seen have been with tube components. They tend to take on the characteristics of the amp driving them and do a very good job of matching that sound. You'll find that they match up well with AR electronics (where they are brighter and more aggressive) as well as CJ (as described above). Your tastes will determine which one's work the best for you. Try them with CJ amps and I think you'll find that they're an outstanding match, especially with the type of music you like. Enjoy...

proac recommends the solid-state arc 100.2's, combined w/the arc ls-16 or ls-25 toobed preamps... ask proac about yer current stuff & see what *they* say...
