    Which speakers do you think sound most "anti-ProAc"?

    Any Electrostatic, Dipole or open baffle speaker.

    How about this type of open baffle?

    Naim SBLs or Linn Kans would be candidates.

    Yep, Nolas are great, always wanted to try, bass might be a bit too thick for my room, I'm afraid. ( Would have swapped with my Zingalis though.) Have you ever tried them with a Lavardin or a single-ended EAR?

    I mean ProAc "house sound", if there is indeed any. I do not remember the models, but all 3 Proacs that I have heard revealed same traits, being more hi-fi than music. Thery also sounded a bit thin to me. I once heard some ProAcs back to back with Spendors and the difference was startling, Spendors sounded very Anti-ProAc to me :MILD: Do not want to say anything bad about Proacs, it must be a matter of taste.

    Guess it depends on the kit they are paired with and your ears.
