I have looked/listened to this genre of speaker for about a year and do love the Proac 1SC. If you want new you have to settle for less, for example, the JM Reynauds at about $800. I have listened to Reference 3As, B&W 805s, Aerial Acoustics 5s and a good many others. I recently purchased Ty Lashbrook's "Tyler Acoustics Reference Monitors" via this forum as demos; he also has minimonitors. The reference monitors are great and no complaints about the service: very personable. www.tyleracoustics.home.mindspring.com
A competitor for the ProAc SC-1 Monitors
I have been pondering if there is a monitor out there that has similar drivers and sound as the ProAc SC-1, and at the same time are more affordable than these midget sized speakers that cost $2500...I have heard a little about some TAYLOR Acoustic model that had the same type of drivers, but the sound, is it comparable? PS: Ideal monitor knockoff would cost about $1000....any suggestions?
