Had ProAc 2.5s for sometime (and regret selling them) and used Plinius SA100 mkII, Levinson 331 and Sonic Frontiers Power2. The Plinius was hands down best match. I'd suggest looking for a MkIII.
Which amp for the Proac 2.5s
"I have had the Proac 2.5 driven by the VAC PA 100/100 stereo amp and VAC Standard tube preampfor several years. It is a wonderful combination in many ways but I've come to realise there is something missing. Namely, the sound lacks punch, speed, and the impact I've heard on other systems. I also know that my Proacs are capable of delivering a more visceral base response than they presently do. I suspect this may be the result of insufficient power.
I generally prefer the musicality that tube electronics offer but would be willing to consider solid state if I were not giving up the tube like attributes.
I would also prefer not to mortgage the farm so I am not adverse to buying pre-owned equipment and would also prefer to stay with a stereo amp. I also may upgrade my speakers in the near future.
Recommendations would be much appreciated."
