About the same as you

  I have the d40r, and have owned many other proac speakers. This model has bottom firing port as well, yes placement is easier than other models with front or rear ports

Never had k series sorry

I too have the D30R and I'm very impressed with them although I haven't had many other speakers to compared to. The tonal balance is superb and the lows are also very potent for it's size. I suspect the K series will be even more impressive. Even if placement is not critical due to the bottom firing port, it's still best to be away from the back wall. 

two points

1) with stu tyler and proacs, one mainly needs to understand that bigger models are for bigger rooms, more bass output, more absolute spl capability - so the trick is to get the RIGHT speaker for your room, not the highest speaker in line that you can afford - stu’s higher dual woofer models will absolutely overload a room that is too small for them

2) from his marketing verbiage, it seems he is trying for an even higher level of transparency in the k series... having proacs since the 1990’s i would never say that his regular speakers, the curren td series etc etc are artificially warm or with any extra romantic coloration -- in fact i would say that among the british boxed speaker makers, proacs already among the most ’see through’ in sound character (equalled only by atc perhaps) ... so i am curious to know how far stuart is going with the k series...
