Proac D-30R


I recently had a chance to listen to a Proac D-48R and
the D-20R. Both put on a good show at their respective
price range. The D-48R is too big for my room (and wallet)
whereas the D-20R would be a better fit However the D-30R
is also an option. Has anyone had a chance to compare
the D-20R to the D-30R? Did you feel the price difference
was justifiable?

Amaglioc,

Thanks so much for your feedback. After careful consideration I'm pretty much decided on the D-30R
as well. Its no longer if but when I get them. Good luck
with your purchase and keep us updated when you get them.
Milpai, so many in such a short time I've thoroughly confused my ears. Lets see, in addition to ProAc Response D20R and D30R, I've heard: Revel F208, Paradigm Prestige 95f, BW 804d2 and 803d2, Sonus Faber Venere 2.5, Martin Logan 60XT, and ML Theos powered by such a beautiful Mcintosh tube amp that I was hypnotized.

I'm taking notes and putting tie between auditions but so many speakers are in such poor rooms and badly positioned that it's very hard to rely on any impressions. So it goes.
Cmach,

I certainly will, and I'm anxious to hear about your experience with the 30R. Do you know what you'll use to power it? What I heard with the ARC VSi60 in Dallas was beautiful, but I might ask to hear a few others amps as well.
Wow Amaglioc, you really have listened to a range of speakers - different price brackets. So among those speakers, you think you like ProAcs the best? There was someone here on audiogon selling his ProAcs because he felt the bass was an issue. I strongly felt that it could be either the component matching issue or probably speaker placement issue because I have not read about ProAc owners complaining about bass. Do you have a chance to listen to PMCs in that same range?
Amaglioc,

When I auditioned the D-20R and D-48R I brought my Manley
Snappers along. I thought they had excellent synergy together and was a big part of the decision to go with
the Proac's.
