ProAc 2.5 vs New ProAc


Do ProAcs Response 2.5s have noticeably rolled off highs compared to new ones?

I thought with all the praise of 2.5s and One SCs they might sound better than new ProAcs. But the frequent comment "warmer" may also mean less high end. I've been listening to new ones and love them. Older ones can be less expensive.

I'd appreciate opinions from anybody with actual experience listening to 2.5s and new ProAcs (e.g., D28, D2, Anniversaries).

Thanks

My D2's sound terrific. Pushed at high volume (above 95dB) and on some specific music/songs, I have experienced the highs roll off (all speakers have limits). The bass port on the D2s are in the front and seem too close to the speaker. I feel this has adverse effects on the bass at higher volume and intense bass driven music...
