I understand your dilema but my guess is that if you like the ProAc sound, you won't be disappointed with an upgrade to a larger ProAc such as the D25 or D38. I've owned 4 pairs of ProAc speakers over the years and have found that they all share a family resemblance in sound. I recently replaced my ProAc Response 3.8s with the D80 and found the improvement to be quite dramatic and well worth the money.
Moving from ProAc's to.......
I have currently the ProAc Response D15 and have reached a stage whereby I'm looking to get more where that came (which is probably a D25 or even D38) however I've got a problem in that the ProAc dealer where I'm from no longer has any interest to sell ProAc speakers.
I am very reluctant to make a "blind" purchase without listening first to the newer Response speakers which sadly means that ProAc are out of my shortlist.
This being the case I would appreciate responses from those of you who have owned or have an intimate knowledge of ProAc speakers and found "like characteristics" speakers that I should include in my audition short list.
Obviously, I am looking for speakers that best match my Rowland Concentra II Intergrated Amp (please refer to my setup for the associated equipment).
So far I have on my shortlist the Living Voice Avatar/OBX speakers as a must audition. What else should I include.
