Need help with ProAc Response OneSC

i heard the proac tablette 50 signatures - supposedly not as good as the 1sc's. they put the totems on the trailer. totems were nice, yust not in the same league as the proacs. the totems i listened to were the staff's - i understand this is the floor-standing version of their signatures. both speakers were x-d over at 60hz to my subs. the totem's were not nearly as detailed & clean as the proacs. both were musical, w/a good soundstage, but the clean, detailed sound of the proacs easily beat the totems.

ProAc's are great speakers, however they are very critical of the rest of your components. If you have a mediocr amp and source, you won't ever know the full potential of you speakers. I suggest to "hit the sidewalks" and audition as many "gear" you can. if you can't do that, and you are un-willing to upgrade your source-amp components, than do some research what would be best match for your current gear! www.Audioreview.com is a good start!

Listen to Coincident Conquests.You will be happy you did.Less money better speaker.

I almost bought a pair of these speakers after hearing so many rave reviews about them. When I went to the store to audition them, I was bit disappointed. It sounded very analytical & I just couldnt stand the excess highs. In the end, I bought instead the Vienna Acoustics Haydn at half the price. The finish of the haydn is as good, the bass is as good & the best part, it sounded very good without having to use expensive stuff. I paired the haydn with the Audio Analogue Puccini SE Remote with the Paganini CD player and Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables. Great combo and no regrets!

ProAc calls the 1SC a miniature and the Tablette 2000 Signature the ultimate in compact loudspeaker design. They share the same tweeter and the same Michell binding posts. The Signature has a larger cabinet and bass driver. It comes only in premium finishes, which are optional on the 1SC. They won't move a lot of air like a floor stander, but if you can accept that, the 2000 Signatures are ProAc's best kept little secret. The all-model ProAc manual says "When used as intended they are virtually indestructible." But, if you destroy them clipping your budget integrated, good luck finding a shoulder to cry on.
