I had the Response D2's and the MM De Capo I in my listening room at the same time. Mac MC275 mkV amp.
I sold the ProAcs and kept the 3A's. It was not even close. Much more air and realism (and better bass) from the 3A's. Stunning imaging as they truly disappeared. I had wanted the Proac Response 2 since reading the Greenberg article oh so long ago. I enjoyed them very much -- until I heard the 3A's.
BTW, I used the same four post Sound Anchor stands with each speaker set. Sound Anchors are very, very worth the money.
