from Audiogon Summary:
Fantastically musical speakers. I presently own two other pairs of speakers in the $3000 - $6000 range and the ProAc Studio 150 does not give up any ground. Tonally these speakers seem neutral across the frequency range for which they are rated; highs are nicely extended but not siblant and the bass has weight and authority to about 40Hz with a very liguid mid-range. Below 40Hz my sub takes over to produce a seemless highend package. I have head others say that these are bright. Perhaps so with cheap or the wrong solid state front end. However, mated with my B&K AVR307 they give nothing less than a truely musical experience full of emotion and soul that the artist conveys. Listen to Diana Krall, Girl in the Other Room, and brace yourself for heart touching experience. For the money, I would say that I would have difficultly choosing between the ProAc Studio 150s and my Tyler Acoustic Reference Monitors ($2500) and perhaps they are 85% of the way to the music produced from my PBN Montana SP IIIs ($4500). One more thing, I bought these off Audiogon used for $700.00 unheard and was feeling some trepidation. I was not in the least bit dissappointed - a great bargin for a great sounding speakers-Highly recommended. Strengths:
Beautiful fit and finish, neutral tonality over rated bandwidth, could live with these for a long time. Weaknesses:
None except, could have a more substantial spike and plith system for better stability. Similar Products Used:
PBN Montana SP 3, Tyler Acoustics Tylo Referenc Monitors, Soliloquy 5.3 and 5.0, Boston Acoustics VR950, PSB, Vienna Acoustics Bach, Paradigm, to name a few.
