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.

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.

Yeah, I did one of those "What the hell happened to those great little Pro...?" yells, too.

I'm a recording engineer and I have a pair of Future One's that are incredible. I beleive they are really true and could be used as reference speakers in a Mastering room. They ar every impressive speakers.

I really, really enjoyed the .5s on a Meridian 588, Rowland integrated with Shunyata cords, and Kimber wires at a dealer back in the day. Also put on the 2.5s in that room and sounded great, but the ribbon added tons of "air" to the highs.

Very synergistic, and I was close to going that direction.

Not sure you get much from going to 1s from .5s though as the drivers are the same, just a larger cabinet.
