ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead??


I have seen pix and a few ads for PRO-AC's Future Series of speakers, but not much is written about them. Is this model just a "Dog" that Proac wants to forget?? The models are not "inexpensive" either. They are all three way systems that use a ribbon tweeter "supposedly" built by their company. I am particularly interested in the Point Five which is the least expensive,at $6000!!! Need input from owners or anyone who has heard this speaker.

Yeah, you don't seem to see many of them around anywhere. I own 1SCs and Tab 50 Sigs and was interested to hear them at CES, but the only thing they had were the big D80s and the small home theater speakers.
Sunnyjim-I heard a pair of the Future's in my dealers about a year or so ago-sadly the experience in terms of the room,music and scale made me pretty confused-I only heard them for a few minutes-certainly there was nothing bad about them.
Simply the sound was much bigger than I was used to.
I believe it was the Future 2's I heard.
Here in the UK I've seen a lot of ex-dem's for sale-don't know if goes for anything.
My local dealer loves the Future series and he usually knows what he is talking about.....the point five's are on my wish list to demo at some stage.
Not sure if this is much help ,my guess is that they haven't taken off...........
A quick look at the Proac web site show's that the Future 2's are no longer available........so I suppose that tells it's own story.........................
I have a pair of Future Ones that will be placed for sale here at Audiogon soon. I love what the high frequencies did, midrange is very good, bass too lean for my large room (7,500 CF).

These served as my only speakers for over two months while my Soundlab U1's were being replaced, so I have a good understanding of their performance.
