ProAc D15 good also for Rock?


I listened yesterday to the ProAc and they sounded gorgeous with classical or light jazz.
Does anybody know if its also the right speaker for rock (ie tight and powerful bass and "punch")?

I can't speak specifically for the D15s, but I think ProAcs rock... I picked up a pair of Response 2s a dozen or so years ago, but relegated those to a study and "upgraded" to ESLs. I got captured by the transparency and speed of 'stats. After playing around for years in the ESL vein, however, I ultimately realized that I really missed the way the ProAcs convey the slam of rock music. The ESLs were too... ..."polite." So, now I'm the happy owner of a pair of Response 2s in the study (biamped off a pair of ARC D240 IIs) and a pair of Response 3.8s in the main rig (biamped off a pair of ARC VT100 IIIs). "Safe European Home" sounds the way it's supposed to again.
I have a pair driven by 95w linn amplification. I do most of my listening with these speakers on jazz and country. Somehow I dont feel that the proac are feeling comfortable with heavy rock music( even though they can deliver the goods), light and modern is fine, but if you want to indulge yourself in some no holds bar rock then you might end up feeling sorry for such wonderful speakers. I would recommend getting some sub $1000 jbls or infinitys to handle the heavy rock music, these american classic speakers will offer good bass performance for rock music. Hope this helps.
