Proac 50 Tablette vs. Tablette 50 Sigs


I once owned a pair of 50 Sigs and remember falling in love with it's imaging and detail. I'm contemplating a pair of Tablette 50's and curious to hear member's personal listening experiences between the two. I notice several 1sc and Tab 8 Sig comparisons to the 50 Sigs, but don't see any of the Tab 50.

I'm currently using a pair of Proac Response 1.5's with all Electrocompaniet gear - AW220, 4.7SE, EMC1. I listen mostly to classical, jazz, and enjoy female vocals from Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Ricky Lee Jones, Linda Rhonstadt, Kiri Te Kanawa and more.

@ both "Cardinal" and "Ryder" - Thank you both for your input. I agree with both of your assessments on the 50 Sigs and Ref 8 Sigs in a separate but equal way. I now regret selling my 50 Sigs but had a better system match at the time with a pair of Eggleston Isabel's matched to a pair of Forte Model 7A's with a Joule Electra 100 mkii and an Audio Research CD 2.

Fast forward to present times, I've had the chance to listen to the Ref 8 Sigs in my current setup, but seem to always be a "day late and a dollar short" on purchasing the exact pair I'd want to own.

Because the 50 Sigs are very hard to come by nowadays, I happen to stumble on a mint pair Tablette 50 and curious if you'd consider them a bargain at half the price of a used Ref 8 Sigs.

@ Ryder - I agree with you on the Harbeth. A friend who was once a Proac lover has been trying to convert to Harbeth for years. Perhaps I need to decide if I'm planning on keeping my Electrocompaniet gear before jumping to Harbeth's.

Thank you - Alb24
