ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1

Well I truly love my SP1's but a pair of Proac Response 2.5 has come up for sale locally and I am going to look/listen at them tonight. Anybody want to way in..... Is it a bit of a sideways move or do the ProAc's offer a bit more ,for instance in the sound stage dept. Thanks, All :)

@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.

@glennewdick  Yes,bright and lean compaired to my Spendors. I think my electronics are much better and my room is awesome,possibly my best asset. I am going to give it a try.

@jalmusic,

Please let us know after you try them at home. You may not need your subs or at least a very low crossover point with the ProAc 2.5. Great speaker. I would not have changed mine out except for a very good deal on a ProAc high up their line.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry
