History

The company was reportedly founded by Stewart Tyler in 1979 and registered on 09/05/1988. The brand of ProAc was built on the reputation of his first loudspeaker manufacturing entity, Celef Audio Ltd., which was reportedly founded in 1973, incorporated on 10/09/1975 and renamed to Celef Audio International Limited on 10/12/1985. The Celef name is no longer used for marketing, but still appears to remain the legal and financial entity operating the ProAc brand.

Reviews

  1. Tablette - "a speaker that isn't as neutral as the BBC LS3/5a compact monitor, but that does manage to equal or exceed that venerable design in most respects." - Stereophile, April 11, 1984. [1]
  2. Studio 100 - "The use of a treble-challenged tube amp is mandatory to hear the Studio 100s at their best." - Stereophile, October 1, 1994. [2]
  3. Response 4 - "stunning, world-class performer in every regard. It is well deserving of a Class A recommendation and has become a cherished component of my reference system. I recommend that you do whatever it takes to hear this lovely loudspeaker. It deserves to be compared with any speaker at any price." - Stereophile, March 1, 1994. [3]
  4. Response 3.8 - "If a loudspeaker can pull me into the music—as the ProAc Response 3.8 did time and again—I know that it's doing a superb job." - Stereophile, January 10, 2000. [4]
  5. Future 1 - "Tactile, transparent, crystalline, and fast without being hard, bright, or analytical, the ProAc Future One fulfills Stuart Tyler's goal of building a loudspeaker with all the desired qualities of electrostatic designs and none of their drawbacks." "that ribbon tweeter had me hearing new stuff in every recording I played. And despite their relatively small size (they're definitely apartment-friendly), the Ones created a big, smooth, detailed, satisfying sound." - Stereophile, October 10, 2000. [5]
  6. Response 2 - "stunning product that delivers a quality of sound most audiophile speakers only hint at." - Stereophile, September 10, 2005. [6]
