Best speaker that Proac ever made

Grinnell, I also heard the Response D40R with a Grommes phi26. It is a great sounding combination.

I currently have a pair of Response 2.5 with Quicksilver V4 amps and it is a very good combination in my room.

I have had a number of Proac speakers, booth stand and floor, and my current combination sounds the best to me.

Ladok, I owned the original Response 2 for about 9 years and it is a great speaker. My change to the Response 2.5 was an improvement to me, especially in bass response.

Thanks Zd542. It took a long time to finally get a amp/speaker combination that I am satisfied with. Currently using Gold Lion KT-77 tubes in the Quicksilver V-4

It was at Arizona Hi Fi. I bought a Grommes also.

That is a good point Ladok. I used the Response 2 with a number of amps (Quad 909, Cary Rocket 88, Roksan Caspian integrated) and it worked well with all of them. At the time I had a smaller (8 X 10 X 8) listening room and listened very near field. When I moved I found that the Response 2 did not work as well in my larger room (11 X 17 X 10). I was considering adding subwoofers, but ran across a pair of Response 2.5 locally, and they added the bass I was missing. They are inefficient, but matched with the Quicksilver V-4 there is enough power to fill the room.

I would like to say this was carefully planned, but it involved more getting lucky. It takes the right match with the room and the right speaker/amp combination to achieve the desired results.

There is no doubt the Response 2 is a great speaker, and I am a fan of the Proac house sound.

I ended up with something that worked for me.

Two other speakers I really like in the current Proac line are the Tablette Anniversary and the D30

Bcgator "Is a 12x12 room too small for the Response 3?"

I have not heard the Response 3 in a room that size. So sorry I can't help you with an on point answer. It is a lot of speaker for a room that size and I think you would need some bass treatment at least.
