Best Proac monitor

I've owned both the Response 1SC and Tablette 50 Signature for over three years.

Generally, speaking the Tab 50 Sig is a faster, livier speaker than the 1SC. I think it images better as well. The 1SC is more settled and less likely to get ruffled during complex passages, and it has slightly better bass.

As to which is the best, I think it comes down more to which you'd prefer. A lot also has to do with your associated equipment and your taste in music and presentation.

Rockvirgo, that IS interesting.

While the Response and Studio lines seem to have greater differences, the Tablette line seems like an odd offshoot in that lower price wasn't associated with lower performance.

Hi El34eh,

Really did we talk about you wanting to buy my Tab 50 Sigs? When was that? Your memory is much better than mine, heheh, but you're right, they were and still are ebony! How are you liking the Tab Ref 8s? I understand they carry on the Tablette legacy very proudly.

I agree, there is something special about the Tablette line. The Tab 50 Sigs seem to convey more LIFE to me than the 1SC. I've always likened the the tab 50 Sig to a person in their late teens while the 1SC is that same person, but in their early 30s. Same person, just different priorities.

These days I'm running a pair of Response 2.5s. I plan on putting my near mint 1SCs up for sale soon, but I can't bear to part with my slightly beat up Tab 50 Sigs.

Very interesting.

I have a question for you Tab Ref 8 owners. Do you know if those are available in Yew Wood?
