Wes Phillips from Stereophile gave the thumbs up for the Cary Audio 300 SEI and ProAc Response 1s and 1sc combo. Also, if I remember correctly, Dennis Had used the ProAc speakers to voice his amplifiers so the the Cary and ProAc combo will be a great match. I personally used the 300B SE Signatures with the Response 3 speakers some years ago and it was wonderful. Hope this helps.
Dynaudio Contour 1.1 vs Totem Model 1
I am looking for a pair of small bookshelf speakers to pair with a Cary cad 300 sei and these two are at the top of my list. There is a $1000 price difference in favour of the Dynaudio. But, if that were to be disregarded, which one is the better speaker. I have not heard the Dynaudio so I cannot make a personal judgement.
