ProAc D40R vs D48R

[ErikM]

So for whatever reason ProAc decided to replace the D40R with the D48R, I wondering if anyone has heard the D48R and could speak to the sonic differences between them..

Thanks!

Beside sparse info on the newer cone materials I havent seen any comment on the new d48. Im in the waiting for my studio 148 so I have been through lots of forum in french and english talking about proacs and cant remember a single comment for d48. People who own them must be pretty happy.

Carbon have been dropped from the studio line for paper and reworked in "pulp/carbon fibers"??? for the response line. I think it has to do with with how carbon has hard to control peaks in upper mids and is hard to fine tune. But please dont spread my words, im guessing here. But I have been confirmed that the studio line sounds better and can only assume the response line too. I was in a position were I could not audition without taking a weekend trip so I just ordered. I know its a bad practice but I didnt have time for this. You may well have to take the plunge too assuming you like the response line already.

Oh I know its bad to talk about other forums but I had answers on the naim forum for my speakers. You could lurk there. *secret*

I have the new studio 118's which has a new driver on the end of a cyrus kit and they sound terrific. There rich, sweet up top deep on the bottom for stand mounts I cant say enough about this line. I have had the tabbies and D28's and for what its worth I like these the best musically speaking. Proac did a cracking job on this new speaker
