ProAc Response 2.5 Vs. Spendor SP1


Well I truly love my SP1's but a pair of Proac Response 2.5 has come up for sale locally and I am going to look/listen at them tonight. Anybody want to way in..... Is it a bit of a sideways move or do the ProAc's offer a bit more ,for instance in the sound stage dept. Thanks, All :)

When Dennis Had was still at Cary, he used ProAc speakers to voice his amps.  On his recommendation and that of my dealer (Arnie, the founder of the original Audiogon), I got a Cary CAD301SE amp, a glorious 11 watts per side, that drove them to perfection.  I still have them in my second system, with Ayre 60W.  They are a very fine speaker, the main driver unit is superlative, and they go deeper than you'd imagine.
Hmmm.  I'm pretty sensitive to bright speakers, and I never thought of them as bright.  You can certainly experiment with toe-in.
