| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I would let you listen to my system if you ever made it to the Seattle area. Did you check out my system page? My 148s are about 12" away from the front wall, wish I could go farther out but it does not work for my room layout. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation ProAcs are distributed through Sound Organization in Texas (Rega distributor also). My Seattle dealer sells ProAc (only the response line), Rega, Naim, PMC and others plus has a great used section. Maybe call Sound Organization and see what can be... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation The 148 ProAcs like a strong amp at 4 ohms (my Audio Refinement does 200 @ 4 ohms) and can easily take 250 hours for break in. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I was able to get the ProAc Studio 148 and the Soundocity SEV9 outriggers (plus extra bolts, nuts and washers from Home Depot) for less than $3350 from my Seattle ProAc dealer. They cut me a deal because the dollar is strong vs the euro right now. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation To complete my thought, I was absolutely rocking my ProAc Studio 148s NYE. Playing older Metallica, Dire Straights, Prodigy and the new The Crystal Method all on vinyl. Stunning how they compress the room down to what I would consider a flat and h... | |

| To power condition or not to power condition AVR I've heard the PS AUDIO Dectet Power Center is a great bang for the buck but every conditioner I've tried killed the dynamics. | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... Try to find some tekton 6.5t monitors I have some for sale in the Seattle area with rigid black steel Linn tukan stands. Sound great and can listen to them all night. My friends asked me where my sub was (don’t have one). I put them 11-12" from th... | |
| Proac Response D40R or D48R Ribbon tweeters can be more narrow / more focused / more "beamy" than dome tweeters. I witnessed this when I demoed a pair of ascend acoustics sierra towers with a high end RAAL ribbon tweeter. No the speaker for me, mostly for other reasons.I rea... | |
| Nakamichi high-com II in record chain only or listening / record chain (vinyl source only) Huh, I guess I misunderstood the function of this device or the way people were using it. Wonder if I will keep it. I do like the analog vu meters that will match the rest of my system. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/1634 | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? I had some tekton 6.5t monitors on rigid stands with good punch and sound. I also tried some Tekton mini lores, not for me as they were too refined with no punch.I still stand by my ProAc studio 148 recommendation, which I am using in my main setu... | |

| Do I need speakers upgrade? I disagree the 148s are rough and aggressive. I think they are very accurate (studio characteristics). Itzhak, the 148s you heard must have not been broken in as they do take a while. Or the source electronics or material was poor. | |
| Do I need speakers upgrade? My room is larger than yours (see my system page for full details on room and components) and I think I have plenty of speaker for where I listen. I only listed to the ProAc Studio 125 (beautiful midrange) and ProAc D20 before I ordered my 148s. ... | |
