ProAc D25 or ProAc 1SC + Sub


What will be the best solution?

Theorical observations (guessing):

1SC + SUB will have deeper bass, better for home-cinema and some types of music. It will also integrate better in small rooms, since the sub usually has many controls.

D25 may demand a larger room but will have much better integration and a more balanced sound.

Which one is more holographic?
Which one is more dynamic?
Which one?

I personally would go for the Proac D25, which is a very good speaker in its class. Its brand new, has excellent frequency response, down ported, and uses excellent driver from volt, I dont even think you need a subwoofer if you opt for the d25s. Also Proac should be in the process of changing the response 1sc to a new model anytime soon, so it might be in your best interest to wait it out if you do indeed go for the 1sc. Match it with the er1 sub, they will make perfect compliments, also dont overlook the reference 8 signature in your decision making, it is also a very fine speakers.
The response d25 should be compatible with small rooms. I am actually using a d15 in a 11*13( give ortake a few inches) bedroom system, and it has enough soundstaging and dynamics which nearly match my reference proacs in my larger room, wich is only 12 ft wide. I was actually thinking aof getting a d25 for my bedroom, but the price difference made it better for the d15, but the downporting and size should make it compatible for a smaller room.
