Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years.

I am likely to buy slightly used. I have read the newer ProAcs have tighter base and are easier to place in your room due to down facing port. Are the ribbon tweeters that much better? I am concerned about durability of the ribbons, as there have been a few threads by people who have had ribbon failure. I would consider D48R or K6 if I can find a nice used pair. Do the newer ProAcs lose any of the magic of the older models? Another speaker that interests me is the Sonus Faber SarafinoG2. 

System is Accuphase E406, Nottingham Spacedeck, Allnic H5500

I encourage you to listen to as many speakers as you can. Technology in materials, electronics and usage of computer aided design continues to evolve and I think results in excellent speakers at many price ranges.

  • If you like your current speaker, find out if you want to stay with ProAc - they make excellent speakers.
  • My experience with Sonus faber has been excellent- I haven't spent much time with the Serafino G2 but I find their sound appealing and currently have Olympica Nova Vs which I'm love
  • I'd encourage you to hear Devore speakers if you can

Good luck and enjoy your journey!
