The D2R are as happy playing something intimate such as Tracey Chapman’s Fast Car as they are Nirvana in full flow. They have plenty of attack at the frequency extremes but still enough in the way of subtlety to avoid sounding overly aggressive.
Despite their obvious transparency, these ProAcs never strike us as analytical tools. Given suitably talented partners, these speakers excel at giving the music the limelight. We can’t ask any more than that.
Combining excellent overall transparency, featuring a ribbon tweeter creating an open and extended top end, and a characteristic rich, midrange along with deep, well-defined bass notes means that the D2Rs are very highly recommended.
