I think they sound great although the Dev runs hot with them (mine peaks at 58-60 which is pretty warm) suggesting a 400 combo might be a much better option.
I also heard the Fact 8 - ahead of the demo the dealer would have said they were more neutral/analytical/cool whereas the 20.26 was more of a 'party' speaker .... and I would agree, I do listen mainly to rock so that may account for my preference.
Strongly recommend you try to hear Proac D30R - my wife refused them as the tiger ebony finish wasn't to her taste .... but in some ways I preferred them to the 20.26.
I also heard (briefly) the Fact 12 - they are stunning, as they should be given the price difference. But if you find a demo pair, you never know....
Hi!
I also heard the D200 + ProAc D30R and was blown away by the sound! How do you compare it against the Spendor D7 or the PMC24/26?
Thanks in advance and best regards :-)
