ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1

@jalmusic 

Interesting. I have never thought the ProAc speakers were bright either, and I have owned many ProAc speakers as well as some Spendor and Harbeth speakers. I thought the toe in might have aimed the tweeters right at you which is not IME a good alignment.

Interested to see what you decide.

I would check with the distributor

https://soundorg.com/proac/

And see if there is a dealer near you. 

I think they are carried by Audio Connection in Verona, NJ (great dealer)

@jperry  Thanks.  I did actually look at the distributor's site as suggested before posting and wasn't able to navigate to any portion of the site that listed dealers.  Perhaps it's my user error.  Certainly not easy to find.

I appreciate the Audio Connection reference.

Overly bright could be the room or poor synergy for sure as proac's are not overly bright id say more the other way. Also if the CJ had tubes on the way out they could sound bright and lean. they should sound

@three_easy_payments,

I did not see dealers listed on the website either, but maybe you could call or e-mail the distributor. I dealt with them before and they were very helpful.
