Best Proac monitor


Gentlemen,
I have not heard the Proac line and I am curious as to which monitor sounds best. They seem to have a cult following and understand some models are preferred. I currently own the JMR Trente which I am very happy with.
Thanks for your input.

Gunbei, may I know if you have listened to the Proac Tablette Reference 8 Signature? If you have, how do they sound in comparison to the Tablette 50 Signature? I do know that you have listened to both Tablette 50 Signature and the Response 1sc.

I currently have a pair of Tablette 50 Signature as a 2nd pair for evaluation purposes and was struck by its immediate and lively presentation albeit a bit bright in the upper registers(which may be associated with electronics and cables). This is the first time I am exposed to Proac speakers. They have more detail and are more forward-sounding in comparison to the PMCs and B&Ws but I am beginning to like the sound signature of the Proacs. I am just wondering if the Tablette Reference 8 Signature or Response 1sc will offer more refinement over the entire spectrum. I may be considering the Tablette Reference 8 Signature as the main speakers in near future and push the 50 Signature to the rears in HT as I find the Proacs to sound quite spectacular with their immediate and life-like presentation when watching a DVD of Antonio Forcione performing live in concert. The sound of plucked strings of the guitar and the cheers of claps from the spectators are so real that I feel like I'm in the concert itself.

Thanks in advance.
