ProAc Response D2 Speakers
ProAc Speakers are made in England, and the company is still owned by an Englishman Steward Tyler.
ProAc loudspeakers have a reputation for exceptional sound and build
quality. Our enclosures may look conventional but this hides the
advanced technology required to build a rigid and well-damped cabinet.
Our loudspeakers are made in our factory at Brackley, England. They are
slim and elegant, finished in gorgeous real wood veneer.
With first class sound quality, you'll be listening to ProAc speakers long after you would have become tired of a fashionable but poor sounding alternative. We are renowned for producing compact high-end speakers evidenced by both Tablette and Response 1SC which have become iconic over the years.
The Response D TWO is a new speaker in this fine tradition, designed for the finest quality music and giving true monitor performance. The cabinet is made from a heavily damped, thin-wall rigid birch ply carcass, with a 25mm back panel. The bass driver is new, using the same cone technology as the Response D15 but with a revised coil and magnet. The tweeter is the same 1" silk dome as used in other ProAc models and the drive units are seamlessly mated with an HQ network designed and built by ProAc. Sound quality from the D TWO is one of extreme transparency; a lush and potent bass response and a silky detailed high frequency. The D TWO also have a huge sound stage with pinpoint imagery. The speakers are designed to sit on high mass stands from 18" high depending on your seating position.

ProAc Response D2 Reviews:
"...The obvious conclusion one can draw from this review is that Stewart Tyler spends considerably more time voicing his loudspeakers and engineering them than he does proof-reading his publicity material. So while there may be few minor errors in the specifications, there are none in the quality of the sound these speakers produce, and the finish of the cabinets—not to mention the flawless standard of construction—are peerless. The price of the ProAc Response D Two speakers does reflect inevitable costs of using British craftsmen to hand-build them in small quantities, using state-of-the-art drivers and materials, but if you wish to own an icon, it’s a price that simply must be paid....."
