VT100 for D38?
I brought VT100iii and did demo with D38r.Bass all over the place! mid and highs are very good and can played loud too! D38r needs SS if tight bass responds are needed! 
ProAc or Harbeths?
I have got the opportunity to bring my VT100iii to test out the D38R and within minutes, I have come to the conclusion that it does not provide enough juice for that speaker. Having enough volume and sounding well controlled is two different thing... 
Harbeth SHL5
I have the HL5s for half a year now. Must listen before buying as they are very different to most of the Hi-end sounding speakers. I think they are not Hi-end at all but very magical with tubes at low volumes and very musical. They do not play the... 
ProAc or Harbeths?
Thanks for the inputs, guys. I have listened to the ProAc and like it but I was thinking the 40.1 is the flagship model while D38 is only middle in range! Would the 40.1 performs better than the ProAc? Good point about amp matching as I will be us... 
ProAc or Harbeths?
I actually have HL5s now and liked it! I would love to have a bit more dynamics. The Bass is a bit loose as well. I have AudioSpace EL34 and Audio Research VT100. Interesting the cheaper AudioSapce matched better with the HL5! More open sounding a... 
ProAc or Harbeths?
Wonder if D38 can match Bass of HL40.1 as an 8 inch is hard to do the work of an 12 inches? Which one is easiler to the amp? 
Proac D80R vs D80

There is one pair selling only for $6700 at the gon!! But after this thread, I must think twice before making the move! Shipping and tax is very expensive to Sydney!! I still think these speakers are the one to stop my HiFi merry go round.

I alway thought the M40.1 and HL5s have the same house sound but the latter being bigger and better in dynamics and details!

Interesting Tom hankins, I do think HL5s have some good magic in the midrange. Can you detail what is thier differences? 
Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners
Thanks Ashton, nice to know people are using them in spaces simular to mine and being happy. The M40.1 should be easier to drive and place than the M40. I have ARC VT100iii so there should be enough power. Do you need to place the speaker away fro...

By the way, Tom, I went through some of your threads and found out we have a very simular HIFI path! Our room's size; being an ex-Thiels lovers and now moving from HL5 to M40.1!! You're surely having much more experience than me and more of a devo...

Thanks Tom, Great to heat that it fits your room. Could you share your placement method with us? Have you done any sound treatments? Some reviews are saying they could have too much bass but others are saying its bass is life like? I am hoping the... 
ProAc D38-R
Well, still no one!! I have the opportunity to listen to it yesterday at my dealer’s shop. Not broken-in yet. My impression is very good. Still have the Proac sound but cleaner at the top, more air but not analytical. Mid range is still very sweet... 
ProAc D38-R
Hey.... these have the ribbin tweeters!!! Anyone?
