Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25


guys, need some help on these two choices.

I'm putting a 2nd system in my den which is about 15 x 13 x 8.5 feet. Acoustics in this room is pretty well balanced.

The prices of above speakers are identical. The Dynas might cost a bit more because of the stands, but minimal.

I'm just having a hard time deciding between the two because i cannot audition either one. Either have to be special ordered.

Anyhow, my amps range from Bryston 3bsst, to Mccormack DNa 125s to the Cayin A50t tube amp.

I dont play much classical music. Mostly jazz, pop music at times, light classics, vocals, etc.

Thank you in advance for inputs.

I would suggest giving the Harbeths a serious listen. I think they are superior to both the Dynaudios and the Proacs. I love the Proac 1SC's but feel the D25 is actually just okay. As far as the Dynaudios, I personally would pass. I auditioned them and left a little disappointed..

Good luck!

"Curious: how do you compare the Proac 1sc and the Harbeth COmpact 7 es2 ?

Are they similar sounding ?"

I would not call them similiar sounding. Each has their strengths. The Proac 1SC when properly setup and properly driven is hard monitor to beat. I would give the Proac 1SC's serious consideration.

Good Luck..
