General: Large High End 2-way floor-standing loudspeakers from ProAc in the United Kingdom, version with Ribbon Tweeters.

Technical: The ProAc Response D48R is a sleek and substantial 2-way floor-standing loudspeaker. The woofer/midrange speakers are a ProAc driver with carbon fiber diaphragm and fabric dome. The ProAc Response D48R is available in two versions, the version with a dome tweeter and the version with a ribbon tweeter. This is the version with the excellent and transparent-sounding ribbon tweeter. The connections are high-quality rhodium-plated connectors and they are bi-wire inputs, which makes bi-amping possible. The ProAc Response D48 has a bass reflex port on the underside, which is tuned very deep. You can therefore place the ProAc Response D48R relatively close to the wall, but not too close, as the bass reproduction extends deep, and the D48R appreciates some freedom in placement. A 2-way loudspeaker often has advantages sonically because the filter technology is simpler, resulting in fewer components in the signal path and an easier task for amplifiers. The look of this ProAc D48R set is classic, square and stylish, finished in a black Ash wood veneer.

Listening: Properly set up and connected to a musical and somewhat robust amplifier, it immediately strikes how friendly and generous the ProAc Response D48R sounds. Most ProAcs we know have a somewhat similar sound balance. Grand, pit-deep bass and a calm tuning with plenty of detail. The sound and imaging are clearly a notch up from the already fantastic-sounding D30RS. The bass reproduction goes very deep and is tuneful, the midrange is beautifully and calmly tuned, and the treble reproduction is, thanks to the excellent ribbon tweeter, unsurpassably precise and calm at the same time. The efficiency is excellent and the impedance behavior is favorable, so you can drive the ProAc Response D48R very well with a good tube amplifier or Class A amplifier. The balance between comfort and warmth, but also dynamics and transparency, provides a very complete listening experience that can be enjoyed for years.

This ProAc D48R set is in good condition and shows some light signs of use. We rate this set 8/10.
