Could be the newer ProAc D30r port design not interacting with the room as much. Hard to say. Curious to know what you think of them after you do audition them.
Thanks Milpai, the ProAcs are actually mahogany , the camera exaggerated the reddish hue of the wood a wee bit.
The room is an odd shape, 19 feet long and 14 feet wide at the system end, then approximately 8 feet towards the listener it narrows to 11 feet wide.
Bass on the 2.5's can be a little too much at times but moving my chair out 2 more feet off the rear wall balances it up nicely while still allowing the lowest notes to come through in full measure. The room itself is pretty dead and high frequencies seem open and airy, though I did notice one or two discs that had a sibilance issue but it may be partly be the recording, they were both Fleetwood Mac discs....Rumours and another I can't remember.
Overall I couldn't be happier with them . I wish I could've heard them 15 years ago.
