Need help with ProAc Response OneSC

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.

there's an alchemist kraken integrated f/s on audiogon - would be a perfect match w/the proac 1sc's. my brother-in-law uses the kraken separates to drive his proac 2.5's - *great* sound...
