I have always liked them. Got to meet Stewart Tyler many years ago and had a great talk. His speakers to me always were known for captivating midrange and just disappearing. I always felt the bass wasn't big no mater what size speaker they had.
There are plenty of great solid state amps these days. The thing is that the cost of Proacs aren't in the ridiculous range, so why use a 15k amp with them? I heard them with a pair of Jadis many years ago that I was looking into getting and it was awesome. I used my Studio Towers with an Ayre AX7e for nearly a year. I almost didn't even bother changing speakers. That was a really nice sound to say the least.
