| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Love my ProAc Studio 148 speakers that I got for just over $3000 USD. Unfortunately, they are discontinued. Fortunately, there is an upgraded replacement model coming out but it sounds like it will be more expensive. | |

| ProAc comparison @itzhak1969, you are correct. The studio 148 is discontinued as with its redesigned drivers and same tweeter as the reference line, it mostly likely took away some sales in the reference line. I've heard a more expensive replacement is coming out ... | |

| New or Used Speakers for Simaudio I-3 Integrated ProAc studio 148s. ProAc recently discontinued these and many thought they encrouched on their reference line too much as they share the same tweeters and have a deep room compressing bass with a flexible placement 2.5 bottom port design. All that... | |
