What is the future for Proac Speakers ?


I have always enjoyed their speakers and have owned them in the past. However, from what I have heard, they are no longer being imported into the US due to distribution problems, the main engineer is no longer there and Mr. Tyler's future is in question. I also see an increase in Proac's being sold here on Audiogon. Does anybody know what's going on at Proac ????

Very sorry to hear of Stuart's passing. I think that he was among a handful of the world's greatest speaker designers. I owned the Response Ones with the outboard crossover for years, and they were amazing. He built speakers that were truly holographic, if the source material allowed. 
I think his gift was in driver choice, crossover design, and great voicing.
His contributions won't be forgotten, and I hope that he trained a brilliant apprentice!
Amen to that Garebear.
What you said was all news to me, and I'm sorry to hear it. I owned their speakers in the past, and have a lot of respect for Stuart Tyler as a speaker designer.
