Proac D15 vrs D25?

Hey, I've got the Response D15 and been considering an upgrade as well. The D25's are an obvious candidate for an audition but I've been considering the B&W Nautilus 804's, 805 Sig with REL's, Merlin's would be interesting but I think there isn't a dealer where I live.

Jbspeak,

I haven't heard the D15's, but I did hear the D25's at a dealer and I was amazed that a speaker with only a medium sized mid/bass driver could throw out a sound as deep as they do. Typical ProAc sound, smooth/sweet & not tippy in the upper regions. A lot of presense. They were demoed using an ARC VT100 & a LS25 MkII.

We played some rock/pop & jazz and it all sounded very good. In fact we played some dynamic percusion pieces and I felt the thump on my chest. I thought that only larger speakers could accomplish that.

The speaker has a large port facing downward. I have to wonder how the sound would change on differnt floor materials.

Anyhow, I too am mulling over buying them - I wish they cost just a bit less.
