Description
Response D2
The original ProAc Response D2 has already been in production for over 15 years with the standard dome tweeter (D2D) and is now considered to be a much respected model. ProAc now offer this model with the option of a ribbon tweeter (D2R), as they do with some of their other models too.
ProAc loudspeakers have a reputation for exceptional sound and build quality. Their enclosures may look conventional, but this hides the rather advanced technology required to build a rigid and well-damped cabinet. Their loudspeakers are made in-house at their factory at Brackley, England. They are slim and elegant, finished in gorgeous real wood veneer.
The ribbon tweeter is the same tweeter used in their larger floor-standing models and offers a refreshing alternative to those seeking a high quality stand-mounted design.
The ProAc Response D2 is a speaker in this fine tradition, designed for the finest quality music and giving true monitor performance. The sound quality from the Response D2D (Dome) and the Response D2R (Ribbon) is one of extreme transparency; a pure and potent bass response with a detailed high frequency.
Whether you choose the dome or ribbon version of the Response D2 you will be astounded with the extreme transparency, pure and potent bass and pinpoint imagery that this model delivers.
Sound quality from the D2 is one of extreme transparency; a lush and potent bass response and a silky detailed high frequency. D2 also have a huge soundstage with pinpoint imagery.
