ProAc, Snell, Soliliquy, Spendor, Totem


AAARRRGGGGGHHHH! I am trying to compare the ProAc Tablette 2000, Snell D, Solil. 5.0, Spendor S1, Totem Rokk and Coincident Triumph/Partial Eclipse but I don't have the time to run around the world to a million different dealers (I can't find one that even has more than 2 of these labels in house) and listen to several different sets of electronics giving me unbalanced/uneven illustrations. If there is someone who can give guidance, plus or minus considerations, things like that, may be I can reduce this target list somewhat. Thanks.

I have listened to the Totem, ProAc and Snell products. It has been my experience that the Snell was the least accurate of the three. The Snell seemed to have exaggerated low frequency extension and displayed a lack of speed in the midrange. The Totem, while having great low frequency accuracy and smooth midrange, tended to be a bit harsh on the top end and became fatiguing after extended listening. My personal choice of the three is the ProAc. I feel it represents the most balanced approach of the three. The ProAc displayed good low frequency extension while maintaining accuracy. The mids and upper frequency have a very forward "Live" feel to them that does not become tired over time.

I kept my comments limited to frequency across the low, mid, and high in an effort to give you fast evaluations. If you would like further details regarding soundstage, imaging, etc, let me know.
