proac responce 2 s loudspeakers
just thought i would mention these speakers , one word stunning ive been round the block with speakers keff refrence 3.2 , ruark crusaders , audio physics virgo 2 , zinglai overture 2 ,QLN signatures , apogee centuar minors , sonus faber signums just to name a few all good in there own right but the proacs just sound so right , they equal the virgos in my view for a holographic sound stage , have transparency that equal the best but do so with very smooth detailed highs , mid range equals that of the zingali horn loaded driver but do so with seemless coherance with the treble and bass , talking of the bass you would not believe it from such a small speaker very tight and musical full of inner detail not the deepest but low enough for resonable sized rooms and better than alot of floorstanders ive heard , best of all they sound good with all kinds of music which is where most of the listed speakers fell on their arse very good with some types and certain recordings but ear muffs on for others , they are very amp friendly a 8ohm load and around 88 db so work well with solid state and valves , the most musical and fit and forget speaker ive owned or heard to date , must use target r stands to get the best and they dont come up often but treat your ears if you get the chance to listen to them a friend owned a set of proac responce 3.8 and did not feel short changed when he heard the 2 s he even commented that they were better in certain areas like coherance and staging ,
