ProAc D20R vs Totem Forest Signature

Does anyone have experience with these two brands? I am thinking of upgrading my Forest to the ProAc D20R. My Totems are great but have also liked ProAc but at the time Totem was the only thing available where I lived. I have heard the 2.5s and owned the Tablette 2000 many years ago but never heard the new Proac so don't know if this will be any better.

I have heard both the speakers, but at different place and time. So cannot really compare directly. But the listening impression with the ProAc D30RS was so impressive that I decided to go with ProAcs. The new ProAcs are absolutely not bass shy. I listened to the "Thanks to you" by Boz Scaggs and the speakers did not seem bass shy.

Eventually I went with the D48R model that I currently own and love listening to at every opportunity I get. ProAcs seems to get that midrange so right. And I am with @jperry on D30RS and small room.

If you are using a sub, then the D20R will thrill you a lot. Make sure to go with the ribbon tweeters. They produce uncanny minds and realism.

You are welcome @romad.

I will say that if you can swing the D30RS, then go for it.

Are you buying local or online? Do you have a chance to listen to both?
