Moving from ProAc's to.......

I have currently the ProAc Response D15 and have reached a stage whereby I'm looking to get more where that came (which is probably a D25 or even D38) however I've got a problem in that the ProAc dealer where I'm from no longer has any interest to sell ProAc speakers.
I am very reluctant to make a "blind" purchase without listening first to the newer Response speakers which sadly means that ProAc are out of my shortlist.

This being the case I would appreciate responses from those of you who have owned or have an intimate knowledge of ProAc speakers and found "like characteristics" speakers that I should include in my audition short list.

Obviously, I am looking for speakers that best match my Rowland Concentra II Intergrated Amp (please refer to my setup for the associated equipment).

So far I have on my shortlist the Living Voice Avatar/OBX speakers as a must audition. What else should I include.

I also have 2.5's driven with Conrad Johnson amps and the sound is equally magical for me. I don't have much experience with the new Response series, but if its like the older line (2.5 vs 1.5) then the differences will be a dramatically improved bottom end (deeper, with a nice mid bass richness) and a more realistic and fuller mirange. Tonally, the 1.5 and 2.5's are similar, but the overall depth of the sound is substantially different. It would be worth finding a dealer that sells the D25 and see if the same difference exists between it and the D15's.

I've had the 2.5's for 4 years and have no plans to replace them. I love these speakers :-).
