My vote goes to ATC SCM12 if you're looking for new speakers. The ATC has fuller much more solid mids and low end frequency response because its sealed designed. However, a good power amp is required to drive this type of speaker. I've compared my SCM10 to proac 1SC, 1.5 2.5, B&W 805 signature and Platnium Solo they sounded more holo to my ears.
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
