    you can see the thread here, all i said is that for the money that i thought that the sound personally i did not like, my view mr, cat it seams that we all dealers must say VERY GOOD, and not to say what you think,

    I don't think you have a choice Nando. If you are no longer a Proac dealer you cannot legitimately say you are.

    Whilst I think Proac's reaction is a bit strong it is understandable IMO. Manufacturers expect certain amount of commitment from their dealers and will rarely take kindly to any of their products being ridiculed publicly. I think you'll just need to put this down to experience and move on.
    Why? You don't owe Proac anything now. I guess you can now push other makes.

    You was just giving a opinion why should anyone pay any more than they should for equipment and in your opinion if they are not worth the money then they are not worth the money . You do have a lot of experience with hi end hifi so im sure its a fair comment you made and i think it is rather childish that they stopped your account.

    they were also harsh to me in their wording, but never mind, an opinion that was made by me was exactly what i thought, like you said it is not only childish but unprofessional,

    Perhaps there was more to it ! If they are not able to take some criticism on something that costs that much and doesn't deliver the goods then it is as you say unprofessional.

    Shame to lose a connection with in general such a fantastic speaker manufacturer though, one of the finest IMO at any cost. But let’s not over do it Proac - 25K :(

    I see the new tablettes are on their web site now. They look really nice too and very tempting but I wont be swapping my Ref 8 sigs again, made that mistake once. :D
