Proac Original Response 2 VS Response 3

I own the original Response 2 and using the R2 Target stands. For the $ I put out for these British Classic Monitors I'm very happy but they do seem a bit thin and harsh/forward at times. Has anyone experienced this.

I have found a pair of Response 3 has anyone compared them..can the 3's image like the little brothers and give you the bottom end. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds unless you spend some serious bucks. Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade.

Definitely worth the upgrade! I have owned R2s, R3s and have just got myself R3.8s. I agree with the R2s sounding a bit thin, though you can forgive them when everything is so well imaged. The soundstage developed by R3s is huge and liquid-like in comparison. You don't quite get the pin-point imaging of the R2s but the whole of the music meshes together far more coherently (and realistically) with the R3s.

R3.8s are a totally different beast again and lose a bit of magic of the earlier polyprop cone designs. If you have enjoyed R2s then R3s will be the best of both worlds (and a bit of a new one too).
