I have many proac pairs. Currently I do most of my listening, one pair at a time, with 1sc's and 140's. I also have a center channel 140. I play both of these pairs from two different all tube rigs. Room, heavily treated, is 11 x 12. I did try the Response 2 and the D2 in my rigs, but did feel they bettered the 1SC. I also still have, and play, tablettes and the EBT version of the tablettes which I got in the early 80's. I like the proac sound. I sourced all my proac's direct from a UK dealer, mostly due to the fact I wanted rosewood finishes, which only can be order in the UK. Enjoy the music.
ProAc fans?
I'm interested in trying a pair of Proac's, but would like some info. on the differences between the Response 1SC and Response 2 models as they seem to sell for about the same price. Is one substantially better sounding than the other? My current gear is a McIntosh MC7200 amp with a C712 pre-amp, which should match up well with either one.
