power amp watt range is for the Proac Response 2.5 If you look at the label on the back, ProAc specifies 25-200W.I drove mine for years with 14W SET from Cary. | |
Audio and Vinyl Shops in Charlottesville VA There is one audio store. Stereotypes. Their main brands are B&W, Macintosh, Classe. Really esoteric stuff! Their used section is worth a glance.At Crutchfields, in their new store, you don't even listen to components any more, you listen to a... | |

up-to-date DAC with tubes and XLR output? Is anyone running the Cary 100t? | |
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS I listened fairly recently to the Super HL5 Plus hooked up to a mega-buck Naim rig. In the treble the sound was definitely not what I would call forgiving, and I didn't pursue the audition for very long. I have no way of evaluating his opinion, bu... | |

What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Modern Audio is indeed the distributor in the US. I had occasion to call there a few weeks ago, and during our brief conversation my primary sense of things was that the guy wanted to get off the phone as quickly as possible.In conversation with a... | |
