| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I’ll try and close this thread up with a few comments.I have never heard a speaker change in the space of 130 or so hours as the D9.The hot midrange / treble has gone, bass deep, tuneful but with real impact as required.What was disjointed bass/mi... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 These were a dealer demonstration pair.So back to the dealer & he will order me a brand new pair in my colour choice. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Avanti1960, yes, yes, I do agree with your findings. I had to return the D9’s. I must have added another 100 hours on them & I have never seen a speaker change so much. More bass, deeper bass, and the nasty mid/treble knocked right off. I am a... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Really, really not sure where to go from here.D9, love the speed, bass depth and definition, midrange. Not so much treble and still slight hot at very high volume.D48R , love the treble , sweet detailed and fast. Bass is full, perhaps too full , a... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Thank you for that. How long did you find the D9’s needed to be run in for ? I have about 140 hours on the so far. Getting better, but not as smooth as the D48R. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I did think about the D30 from an earlier reply from Itzhak. It is not totally off the cards, just worried I’ll not get the “scale of sound” from this one. Some days the D9 is breathtaking with the transparency this speaker can dig up. Then I put ... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Naim Audio 252/300.And I think I was premature with the recent post. The D9 is still running in, today it sounded pretty thin and all bass/ treble. Today the D48R was clearly better.Very frustrating to try and get a take on which will suit my need... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I’ll be purchasing the Spendor D9.It is just a better speaker in my room, with my system and my music taste. The ProAc is still clearly a very fine speaker, however I just preferred the D9 for my needs. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Hi Milpai, the reason is my room is open plan shared lounge room, dinning room area. My hi fi system is set up on the left half of this room. Speakers are set up on the long wall, so very restricted in regards how much space behind them. Unfortuna... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Thank you for your thoughts Milpai. The thing is I can only have them 16-19 “ from a back wall and from speaker to my listening chair is 8’. However my total room area is 26’ x 13’ x 14’. Hence my initial demo. of the larger speakers. I guess I sh... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Thank you for that. Did not think about the D30, perhaps I should have. I can only give any speaker about 16-19 inches behind the speaker and a solid brick wall.Perhas this is why the D48 is a bit out of control bass wise and the bass definition i... | |
| Neat Acoustics XL6 No problem, I will try just that. Thank you. | |
| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 I was just about to jump onto the ProAc D48R when I had an long demo. of the ATC SCM 40A. My goodness the active version really did beat the passive, and not by a small amount either. Would / should the ATC SCM 40A beat the D48R/ naim 300DR drivin... | |
| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 I managed to find a dealer who has a traded in pair of D9’s to demo. I then went for another listen to the D48R’s.Decision made, I’ll be getting the ProAc D48R. They just got me more emotionally connected with the music than the Spendor D9. That... | |
| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 Thank you all for your advice. I did demo. the PMC 25.26 and thought them excellent, until I put some less than perfect 80’s rock tracks on, and for some reason I found the treble very sibilant and irritating on a lot of vocals. Which was a real l... |
