The D48R is truly a speaker that lets you hear music – complete, full music.
The more you listen, the more entranced you become; the more you listen, the deeper you delve into the music; the more you listen, the more you find yourself trapped in music’s embrace, unable to break free.
This is a devil’s trap, waiting for you to trade your soul for the most beautiful music.
At first, I thought it would be hard to convince consumers to spend over $15,000 on speakers that look so “honest and straightforward.”
After listening, even I was tempted.
What else could this be but a devil? A devil wearing a gentleman’s suit!
Like a few other great speakers we’ve auditioned in the $10k–$20k range in the last year, the ProAc D48R in a moderately sized room delivers so much of what you’d expect from a $40k–$60k pair of speakers, there’s hardly a reason to spend more, unless you just have to play music in a massive room at headbanging levels. For all but the most well-heeled audio enthusiast, these will provide a fantastic upgrade from someone currently listening to speakers in the $3k–$5k range and will prove an excellent anchor for a system in the $20k $80k range.
Even when we paired the D48Rs with considerably more expensive electronics, they deliver a command performance.
