I'd owned Naim-powered ProAc Response 1Scs in the past, had a hunch that the new equivalent DB1s would work well in my room, and so far looks like I was right.
They do need serious stands though, Custom Design, or s/h original Target R3s if you can find a pair.
The ProAcs offer a lot of imaging, midrange insight and a sense of sheer drama that I've not really experienced with similar speakers.
I thought about the Neat Petites as well, but read that the ribbon was pretty directional.
The ProAcs do need a little bit of space around them - at least a foot or so from the rear wall, to taste.
Slightly confusingly, I have a memory that PMC also used to make a mini called a DB1, so watch out for that....
Thank you
How do the DB1 compare to the 1SC?
I haven't found the Neat's at all directional... the treble and upper mids, to my ears at least, are really nicely dispersed - in fact probably better than any soft dome I've had (previous two were Dali Opticon 2 Mk2 and Q Acoustic Concept 20)
