Response 1SC
A radical refinement of the internationally acclaimed Response One ‘S’,
the new Response One ‘SC’ takes miniature loudspeaker performance
into a new dimension.
This latest model incorporates a sensational new bass/midrange unit,
manufactured exclusively for ProAc. This driver features an innovative
copper magnet and phase plug assembly which has produced startling sonic
improvements, particularly in the midrange. Equally important is the
introduction of a highly damped, completely transparent cone which marries
extreme rigidity to exceptional lightness. The effect of this unique
combination is a dramatic lowering of distortion together with a flattening
and extension of the frequency response.
Housed in a highly damped cabinet, this dynamic bass/midrange driver,
working in tandem with an equalised reflex port, produces exceptional
bass extension with greatly enhanced soundstaging and detail. A modified
high quality crossover network integrates the bass/midrange output smoothly
with that of the dome tweeter, providing seamless reproduction throughout
the entire frequency range. But perhaps the most important advance has
been in the midrange area. The incorporation of this new bass/midrange
drive unit has resulted in a smooth and expansive midrange, completely
free of any colouration. Indeed, independent listeners have commented
that this is midrange performance of electrostatic quality.
No expense has been spared in the design and construction of the Response
One ‘SC’. The result is an outstandingly fast, powerful and
accurate delivery combined with midrange quality seldom experienced from
a box loudspeaker. Finished in a range of exquisite real wood veneers,
the Response One ‘SC’ represents a milestone in compact loudspeaker
performance at the highest level.
The full potential of these thoroughbred designs will only be realised
through the use of the highest quality partnering equipment.

Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source
of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured
by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the
blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can
make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the
subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist
the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the
rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung
of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance
of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest
bargain ever for a beautiful speaker |

ATC SCM 50 ASL I
was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in
my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording
was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has
an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music
is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your
attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of
your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract |

Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional
female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then
I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to
fight back tears before these speakers.
"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been
the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat
in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained
transfixed for the next 45 minutes"

Gryphon PoseidonThere
are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our
opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.
I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than
that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of
a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine
review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate
the sonic abilities of the Poseidon. |
