Which Proac would sound better

I have heard the D25s in several systems, and really enjoyed their performance, but none had the specific equipment that you own. The D25 has excellent bass extention, smooth midrange, and nails the highs. Very impressive, and it would certainly be on my short list to demo when it comes time to upgrade from my D15s.

Best of luck.

I've auditioned both extensively and had a pair of D25's in my system for several months. The D38's are far better than the D25's but may be too much for the size of your room. If your current speakers have "too much bass" then I wouldn't recommend the D25 since that speaker does not perform as well as it should in this region. The D25 has a bump at the bottom end of the range which tends to slow things down and add excess weight. No matter where I put them I wasn't satisfied with the bass performance of that speaker. FWIW, I have a great room and have never had the kind of bass anomolies I experienced with the D25's. In your price range I would strongly suggest you check out the Daedalus DA-1. I own them and they are the best all around speaker I have ever heard below 12K. They will simply embarass the D25's at the same price and will easily hold their own with the D38's, which are far more expensive. Be prepared, however, the DA-1's sound like live music while the Proac's sound like nice hifi and as such may not be your cup of tea.

consider the response 3. i think it's the best pro ac ever made.
