Retipping Service
Lew, you should call or e-mail Andy. He fixed a sagging suspension on my Shelter 901 and has retipped two Koetsu cartridges for a friend of mine. We both thought his work was great. Web page design - Not as great ;-)

Proac Response 2
I don't know what you finally decided, but I moved from the Response 2 to the response 2.5 and the bass is all there. Having a larger room made the upgrade effective for me. 
Next step?

Speakers opinions
This thread is a little old, but a pair of Proac 2.5 just went up on Ebay. No relation to the seller. I have a pair already. I agree with 1741. They work perfectly in my 11 X 17 room.
