Proac Response D40R or D48R

Greetings Itzak

First of all you are most likely enjoying your Proac 140 MKII they offer an engaging view into most music with their charm , punch and feel while still being a medium size tower.
The 140MKII have a forgiving nature with most well chosen electronics.
 They will always seem to pull in the music lover yet offer a nice sense of emotion or drama while doing it.

The Proac D48Rs while similar in their family sound as above allow us to reach a deeper more natural foundation in the bass area and open a clearer window with their mid band and top octaves, play more effortlessly. and while still fairly easy to place like the 140s you will want to make sure t your gear is decent or capable of bringing you to this level.

 With that said
 Their clarity becomes immediately obvious at lower volume levels right on up with effortless dynamics staying composed in a James Bond kinda way.

Many speakers can make a mess playing  Mahler, or Cream, Live at Royal Albert Hall.

Here the D 48Rs on Clapton's guitar and Cream perform some important things for me.
 Excellent tonal expression with a full bodied feeling, unique percussive weight Impact, scale ,while preserving the unique overtones of RA hall.

The D 48s playing Elgar captures the musics feel of celebration and wonderful bounce engaging you with their superb string-tone.
 Voices have a natural clarity beyond the140IIs range here.
 
The  Proac D48Rs offer a rare seductive relationship for guitar lovers exposing  diverse tones yet hearing into their reverb, hang times, and doing this all at robust enjoyable volumes.....
.
They allowed me to appreciate when I listen to The Who Live at Leeds what a great band is supposed to be.
The Proacs in general play the music of whats there instead of being outta step.
Hope this helps

Recently I upgraded my amplification to the McIntosh MC152 / D100 and I do feel that it has a lot of potential that currently is not fulfill with mine 140MK2's  that's why I am considering the D48R I heard some other options at the same level price and even more expensive but
it didn't sound wright to me ,Proac is one of the rare companies that their speakers sound "correct" to me : neutral,natural and engaging without sounding  "artificial"  and trying to impose something that is not exist in the original recordings .

I was a little suspicious about the ribbon twitters , however heard the D20r and found more clarity and agility than the dome twitters. 

Can you get the 48s in the Dome Tweeters?

My dealer can order what ever I want ribbon or dome version  but unfortunately it's in stock in my country so can't make a demo. 

Ribbon tweeters can be more narrow / more focused / more "beamy" than dome tweeters. I witnessed this when I demoed a pair of ascend acoustics sierra towers with a high end RAAL ribbon tweeter. No the speaker for me, mostly for other reasons.

I really do enjoy the ProAc sound and while the D20s I demoed got loose on the lower frequencies, my ProAc studio 148s are the speaker for me (budget, soundstage, tone, size and frequency response). Try some Soundocity SEV9 outriggers with your 140s. I use them and love them. You can use them if you upgrade also.
