Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler

I've been a happy long time ProAc monitor owner. Specifically, Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures.

However, I've been wondering about other well regarded makes of monitors and even floor standers especially those by Totem, Soliloquy, and Tyler and how they compare tonally to ProAcs, in general.

What I enjoy about ProAcs is their blend of warmth with detail and their outstanding soundtaging and imaging. I've compared my monitors directly to Sonus Faber Concertinos and Vienna Acoustics Haydns and preferred the ProAcs for their focused yet romantic nature.

I listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly favor genres with acoustic instrumentals and vocals, and I'm finding that given a choice I'd favor a nice full midrange over a sonic character many might consider more correct.

I'd appreciate any Audiogon experiences relating what they changed to from ProAcs or vice versa. Or any opinions of perceived differences between ProAcs and other brands that I might like.

Thanks for your help,
Dean

You've got good comparison selections to make. IMHO it is ENTIRELY up to YOUR ears to make the determinations. The posts you receive can point you in directions to audition. That said, I would suggest, if possible, you take a listen to the JMR Reynaud Trentes. Soundstaging, vocal reproduction and some of the other qualities you seek can be found here. Will they lift your ears particularly -- Dunno. The suggestion is that if you can, give them a listen.
