ProAc Response D1


I'm interesting in this speaker for a small 2 channels system.
Did anyone here has demoed them and can give his impression on the sound?
How they do compared to their bigger brother-the ProAc D-2 or even compared to the legendary ProAc 1SC?

Thanx for the answers

I have found the D2 to be more relaxed, or better defined as not as resolving. They simply did not have the transparency that the D1s have. I actually preferred the D1 to the D2 for this reason. The D2 has more bass, but it is not like the D1 is really missing its bass either. The low end that does come out of the D1 is shocking given their size.
The D1 have the old Scan Speak 8513 (with some modification) that I'm quite familiar with and like it very much! That's probably be the reason for the changes in transparency,as the mid-bass for both speakers is same series (Seas Excel).
Also good to know that you've found the bass of the D1 great for it's size!
Buconero117, can you please tell us how the D1s and 1SCs differ? I would be very interested in your impressions. The people I have spoken to believe the new D1s are more accomplished all around with better bass and wider dynamics. Are you hearing something else?
Now I own a pair of these speakers. They take a very long time to break-in, probably over 60-80 hours, which is very surprising. They are begining to sound good and I'll post again soon.
