ProAc D20R vs Totem Forest Signature

Does anyone have experience with these two brands? I am thinking of upgrading my Forest to the ProAc D20R. My Totems are great but have also liked ProAc but at the time Totem was the only thing available where I lived. I have heard the 2.5s and owned the Tablette 2000 many years ago but never heard the new Proac so don't know if this will be any better.

I can't help you with the Totem comparison. I can tell you that the ProAc models with ribbon tweeter are IMO a real improvement. I had the 2.5 and now own the D 40r

My friend had the 2.5 with ARC gear and the music was so real I loved those speakers some say they were the best ProAc made. How does your current speaker compare to your 2.5s? Which ProAc is close to the 2.5?

 

Thanks

The 2.5 were great at the time. They were very inefficient (I think they tested out at about 83 db) but also had very deep bass capability. The d-40r doesn’t go as deep, but has plenty of bass. The highs and midrange in the d-40r is quite superior to the 2.5. I have owned both speakers and had them in house at the same time.

I would look for a used pair of d-40r. They provided a significant upgrade to the 2.5.

If you have a small room I would look for the d-30r.
