from audiosalon, glasgow Summary:
This speaker is capable of doing justice to some of the best front end, cables & amplification available today costing many times more. The soundstage, transparency, coherence, detail & slam from this 3-way 6-coned speaker is a wonder, especially from a conventional box design. Midrange is reference quality for cone design and the high frequencies very detailed & relaxed. The D100 is a major player with the big boys. I listen in a 28 x12 foot room, which is likley the minimum size for such a pair of monoliths. Again, I am amazed at the extreme transparency of the D100s & the incredible accuracy of the soundstage from this very conventional box design. The 4 ATC cones are over £330 each! The new volt woofers seem much faster & more articulate than the old scanspeak ones.
Amazingly, I don't miss the amazing ribbon tweeter of the future 2s. Even the plasma tweeter of the acapella high violon is not seriously missed, even though the HF from this speaker is in a class of its own. Strengths:
Best speaker that proac have made to date by far & very likely the best British speaker currently in production. Dark ebony finish equisite & a wonder to behold. New port design makes room positioning much less critical. Weaknesses:
Crates/boxes are the size of 2 telephone kiosks. Take 6 months to break in, maybe a year for final 10% break in at 2-3 hours per day. Similar Products Used:
Proac Future 2, revel salon, acapella high violon, proac 3.8, proac 2.5
