Anyone listened Living Voice/Croft set-up?
The Living Voice Avatar and dare I say, perhaps even the OBX-2 (with external crossover and requiring 4 pairs of speaker cables) is on my short list. Listener57, can you provide more information about the setup in terms of associated Hifi gear and... 
Moving from ProAc's to.......
Thanks for the replies, Kjg got it very right when he described the upgrade from the 1.5 to 2.5 which I'm looking for.....the deeper bottom end, fuller mid range and so on. The ProAc D25 or D38 are the obvious choice but my preference is to purcha... 
MBL models 101 D and E differences?
What are your thoughts on the now discontinued 111B (now replaced by the 111E), I'm considering driving them with a Jeff Rowland Concentra II rated @150w in my 4.5m x 10m apartment (speaker sitting along the length of the room) as it is well known... 
ProAc D25 placement
Hi Jrcosmo,I've got the ProAc D15, and tried various options including using a carpet tile below each speaker (I've got ceremic floors so the supplied spikes would have caused some damage on the flooring) and finally settled on something called So... 
Proac D15 vrs D25?
Hey, I've got the Response D15 and been considering an upgrade as well. The D25's are an obvious candidate for an audition but I've been considering the B&W Nautilus 804's, 805 Sig with REL's, Merlin's would be interesting but I think there is... 
Speakers for small room?
Take a look at the new ProAc Response range of speakers. They have downward firing ports that certainly helps in positioning and do mate well with tube amps so its definitely worth exploring. I'm using the Response D15 in an apartment and I am qui... 
Anyone heard the MBL 1501 SACD Player?
I might be wrong but the last I saw MBL has not even updated this product on their website and my dealer tells me that they haven't started full production. 
Shunyata Hydra
Rx8man, I'll be interested to know what's the outcome of the side by side comparison. Like yourself I've got the original Hydra in my setup (bought used of course) and its excellent. I'm currently using the "stock" Sidewinder and considering an up... 
Proac D15 versus....
As a D15 owner I continue to especially admire the mid range and especially the vocal presentation of these floorstanders. It doesn't image as well as the 1SC but then again that's the compromise when comparing monitors vs floorstanders.I listened... 
Proac 3.8 or Sonus Faber Cremona
I'm using the Concentra II with ProAc D15 and have to agree with Keithr on the synergy of the two.The newer Proac's have a downward firing bass output which makes positioning less of a headache.Here's what they say on the website. "Bass loading is... 
Rowland 112 vs. Model 10
Suggest you also consider the new JRDG Model 201 Mono power Amp. 
Speaker to match Mark Levinson and Jeff Rowland
ProAc's with Rowland fantastic. 
Cardas cables
Thanks, everyone for your input. What I've tried up till now is I've first introduced Nordost Pulsar points under the CD player and moved my DH Cones to under my Hydra PLC which has resulted in a subtle increase in detail. I've managed to get my h... 
What Amp for ProAc Response 3's?
If you're going the solid state option.......the combination of Jeff Rowland / ProAc / Cardas cables.....great match, you cannot go wrong!FY, I'm using the Concenta II, Response D15. 
Shunyata Hydra
Thanks, I'm currently deliberating if I should go with a well established (used) Hydra at about $1600 or the newer Hydra 8 at $2000+. I'll have to pay slight more as I'm in 230v land.
