i had the opportunity to compare proac tablette 50 signatures, proac 1.5's, & proac 2.5's to the kestrel hotrods. i'd take the proacs any day. don't get me wrong - i actually liked the kestrels - very musical & forgiving. but, not as accurate, detailed or clean, imho. also compared the totem sttaf. the sttaf seemed to me to be more in the mold of the kestrels. i'd say these would be a toss-up.
