Original ProAc Response 2 vs. Gibbon Super 8

I have a pair of the original ProAc Response 2 with stands and am thinking of replacing them with the Super 8. Could anyone who has experienced both speakers tell me if this would be an upward move. The following components will be connected:

Quicksilver KT88 monos (60watts)
Reference Line Preeminence - Dual mono passive
CEC TL2 transport / DIY DAC
Merrill/Scillia MS2 TT
Michael Yee phono

Hi, I'm for the ProAcs myself--don't like the "House Sound " of the DeVores -as poster above put it.

Thanks for varying responses. I think I will stick with the original Response 2. Until I find a local auditioning spot, why gamble. - Thanks

I had my Response 2 woofers re-foamed by Millersound and have been VERY pleased with the results. I've had 4 prs of ProAcs over the years so I suspect I would have heard any degradation in performance.

I have a pair of Response 2s that need re-foaming, could you tell me how to contact Millersound? I just can't swallow the $500 apiece replacement fee for new ProAc woofers.
