Best speakers around for the price. I used B&W CDM 7, Elac, Heco, Hgp speakers. Against the ProAc's they all sounded like Shoe-Boxes!

all round player, tight bass

weak mid range

My system is
Amplifier : Naim Nait3
CDP : Marantz 63SE
Speaker : ProAc Studio 125
Cable : Kimber
The sound is good to play all round, classic, jazz, rock, etc. I like ProAc' sound.

Great finish, wife pleasing design. Great sound in a relatively long, skinny and bright room. Tried B&W CDM7 but a little too unforgiving for my taste in music. Live music, blues and more sophisticated rock sounds outstanding. The extra chestiness perfect for a rather average set of components. I absolutely love them.

Price. For the money, it just seems like there should be more than just a small tweeter and driver.How do they do it? Hard to get placement right and spikes chewed up the hardwood floor.

Try these out if you can find them. Take a Dire Straits, Lyle Lovett live and a bluesy female artist with to audition.

soundstage, accurate production of chorus and human voice, and the drama it adds to classical music

it lacks the bite and impact of its rivals in special types of electronic music which I rarely listen

I mainly listen to classical music and jazz. Searching for a neutral, natural loudspeaker is a tricky process. I bought a AV receiver (TX DS 777 Onkyo) for dvd and video mainly and my wife was very happy with the receiver and the added Pioneer 515 DVD player. I am not interested in TV DVD and video etc, for me hi-fi is the priority. In several shops I listened several equipment and loudspeakers. What I looked after was the realistic reproduction of the piano, cello and violin sound. While in Ýstanbul (thanks to lotus hi-fi, the Turkey dealer of pro-ac.) after a short listening period of several types of music I realized that evreka!. Proac's were hooked to Krell 300 amplifier and a matching krell CD player. I first thought that it would be an overkill to match these lovely speakers with the onkyo receiver and pioneer dvd player, but it worked perfectly.
There is a midbass excess but it adds significant drama and impact to classical material and operas. Listening to chamber music and jazz is a real delight with the Proac 125. Between 1000-2000$ you cannot get better hi fidelity whatever the source and amplification you use.
