I've found there's something special about MTM design speakers that sets them apart from other designs. When implemented well, they can sound eerily natural and real. No doubt Proac has nailed that.
After nearly 20 years, I left Magnepan and went ProAc
Listened to proac d48r's a few weeks ago and fell in love at first listen. After a couple of days I got my wife to sign my "permission slip" and took the plunge and they now reside where my 1.6 once stood. You see, I've never heard a speaker literally mesmerize me and engage me like this before. Sure the Maggie's have a huge image and soundstage and transparency, but these Proacs simply sound more like a real event, with dynamics and palpability, with a more refined and true sound. The images are much more dense.
I only have 48 hours on them so they are nowhere near their final voice, but they are breaking in nicely. The manual says they require a lengthy break in. I pulled out my old marantz cd-5000 to do the break in honors and will run these straight for a week or two and then taper off with normal listening.
One thing I dont care for are the spikes. They have these little slits that aid in tightening, but no tool to go around them, so I can't get a good tightening with just my fingers.......so the spikes jiggle. When I check I can hear the spike and lock but chatter, and this is not helping my stability or sound. Any sugesstions to tighten them right would be helpful. Thanks. Cheers to a new chapter! Wanted to share my excitement with you. So grateful and never thought I would have speakers like This. It feels like a dream!
