With the DB3, Proac has created a small speaker with decent sensitivity and a rich sound that defies its physical size. The designer has managed to create something very special indeed. If it were twice the price it would not be expensive; as it is, it represents one of the audio bargains of the moment. Amplifier choice will have an effect on the sound, and this is of personal taste. But regardless of type the DB3 excels from an unexpected bass response to a gloriously natural midrange which conveys vocal texture superbly well and brings them to life.
Overall, the DB3 possesses a good sense of drive and can handle rhythmic changes well. Timing is good, better even than might be expected at this price point. In fact, it’s hard to find anything negative to say about the speaker and that is probably the highest endorsement a reviewer can pay. I have enjoyed them very much and shall be sad to see them go.
