Proac Response 2.5 vs D25

I am a happy Response 2.5 owner, however, many people who've heard both seem to agree that the D25 is better. From what I remember of the discussions it seems the D25 has better bass extension and weight, a slightly more neutral presentation and is easier to position for good imaging and sound.

However, when I was deciding between the two what swayed me in the direction of the 2.5 was the slightly warmer reputation of the 2.5 and the great bargain used prices available. I found a beautiful pair in yew wood that I'm enjoying.

You should run a search in the forums as this has been discussed and will give you a more in depth understanding of the differences between them.

Good luck!

I don't necessarily think you have to limit yourself to a powerful amp for the 2.5s. I used to think that as well, but my recent experience with a high powered SET has changed that.

I've used a BAT VK200 on my 2.5s for almost two years and liked it a lot. A week ago, I received a 37wpc Bel Canto SET40 and its performance and control with the 2.5s is pretty damn amazing.

If you decide to get another pair 2.5s don't rule out a good push pull tube amp or even a lower powered SET.
