You can try focus rings from Russ Andrews or another supplier, it is a cheaper tweak easily audible that try to remove side dispersion on tweeters.

Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110?
I found a Pass Labs XA30.5 in the second hand market and bought it. After some setup with cabling I find it sounds really well, mid bass is characteristic of solid state, it remembers me the AR 100.2 I had some years ago. Mids are very good, maybe...

Pass Labs XA30.5 has also very good reviews. I do not know if enough power for 90db 4ohm Proac D38.

Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2

Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2
I am not closed only to ARC but I have not experienced with other brands, I used a D200 with good impresions, specially in bass response, so I think the 100.2 could be a good amp to try.I feel in general a lack of air, the bass is not as defined a... 
Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2
Thanks everybody for the answers, I think I have to try to see what happens in my system. If I do I will post my experience in this thread.I am sure REF110 is a superb power amp but I also feel I am not getting 100% of its possibilities, perhaps t... 
ProAc Response Loudspeaker CABLES
I have a Proac D38 pair and the internal wire is made with this ProAc cable. I suppose if you use this as a speaker cable you will maintain the speaker character. I am thinking to buy some meters in order to try.
