Hi Rubherenow,
" I'm sorry for being the odd man out here. But I must agree with Gunbei. ~ Hi Gunbei. I recall trying to obtain the Tablettes from you several years ago. I just really wanted their ebony verion of said speaker more. Which I own the Tablette Reference 8 Signature versions in Ebony by the way.
Anyways ~ As someone whom has been in Audio Retail from 82 - 1992 as a buyer for our stores. I was asked by several of the owners a the time to attend as many CES shows and the likes as possible to find interesting products for our 3 stores. I remember in 1986 hearing the ProAc Tablettes for the very first time in my entire life & must add I loved them for the things they offered vs things that they did not. The store owner were at this time die hard Linnies. So whom was I too recommend something which I truthfully believed was way more musical then the Linn Kans. Since that moment until this date, I still own a pair & have come to know more about these speakers inner most qualities then some whom have never taken the chance to research them to their fullest abilities. Yes, I too have listened to Response One & One 'SC's and I love them as well & thought that they were better then the Naim SBL's that I'd been listening to as reference. But to my ears & Heart the smaller Tablettes offered something which I found lacking in the more expensive Response One ' SC's'. At first I couldn't quite put my hands on it until of late. These things can communicate the very essence of the messages within recordings which have allowed me to better understand what these artist not only felt while doing these recordings, but also what they felt. I mean think about this statement for a moment !!!!!!!!!!!!!. Isn't the relationship one has with the artist more important then the sound of coming from said speakers in a Hi Fi 'sh manner of speaking?. I've listen to a lot of friends systems & have often come away thinking these guys have no ideal at all what music should sound like. ~ Okay ~ More bass here ~ A litle more refinement there. Yet something was always lacking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.That something is something that I've come to realize is called: " The Means To Communicate The Messages Hidden Within." These same guys upon visiting my home are quoted as saying: " Damn that sounds real !!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Who is that? ~ What's that recording? ~ Where can I find that recording? ~ If it sonds like this on your little system , I can only imagine what it's going to sound like on my bigger ........Mag...s or Mart.. Lo...s or Sou.. L..s - You know the drill . Well quess what ?????????????. It didn't sound better - only different."
Reading one of the Hi Fi+ magazines of late, and I think that Roy Gregory related his opinions of these speakers in a manner that I must again agree with. ~ Given the right Sources & Amplification Built around them. These little Mini - Monitors are very capable of relaying the truth."
Isn't that the purpose of any given speaker?.
Best Wishes to you all.
