Nap250dr with proac d40r

Posted by: rohan on 07 June 2016

Hi

I have a decent size room 6 m by 8 m and currently run a superuniti with SF venere3.0  which did nothing much. I have just bought D40R (preowned) and have set them up. Crank up the volume on the SU to 50 plus and the d40R  are astounding! But at lower volumes I think the SU struggles. The natural upgrade is 250dr either on its own or biamped with SU. What I would like to know if the 250dr will drive the d40r and deliver good  SQ at lower volumes and any experience with biamping?

Hi Chag,

I am not quite sure what you would like to know but I found that the Proac D28 matched very well with a 282/Hicap2/250.2.  However, the NAP300 (non-DR) is understandably a step or two up from a 250.2, as is the D30R above the much older D28 in every musical respect.  The D30R is one of the best, most musical loudspeakers that I have had the pleasure listening to at around £5,000 (in the UK).  To these cloth ears, it was easily a match for comparably priced speakers from Kudos, PMC, SF & Neat, which is praise indeed.  The speed, drive and impact of basslines on the D30R were a clear step up from the D28 that I listened to.

Hope this helps, FT
