Proac Original Response 2 VS Response 3


I own the original Response 2 and using the R2 Target stands. For the $ I put out for these British Classic Monitors I'm very happy but they do seem a bit thin and harsh/forward at times. Has anyone experienced this.

I have found a pair of Response 3 has anyone compared them..can the 3's image like the little brothers and give you the bottom end. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds unless you spend some serious bucks. Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade.

I owned both Respone 2s and 3s. The 3s were a significant upgrade and lost NOTHING in terms of imaging or anything else. They won't give you a really exended low end, but the bass is substantially better than the 2. Both are great speakers. I've seen the 3s for around $2K, which is a real bargain IMO.
Both the Rseponse 2 and 3 work fabulously well with tubes, IME. My old pair of 2s is now being driven to great success by a friend's 6-watt SET monoblocks. I wouldn't have believed it either. This same amp sounded great with my 3s as well.
