Yes, this is the first time I'm listening with something better respect to my K1000, what is this? Simple... two little speakers called: ProAc Response one SC !!! Fabolous with the Air Tight!

Is it because of the different presentation of the speakers compared to the headphones? I've found that although speakers are more engaging with the physical impact of the music, my headphones are much more detailed. I don't want to give up one for the other, however, as there are times when I enjoy using both!

No, I don't consider the different presentation (the K1000 is the most speaker like), just thinking to the quality of the sound... (timbre), may be the ProAc can build some headphones...

I had those speakers for a short while, but personally I didn't find them as special as my Acoustic Energy AE1 MkIII were. (ahhh....

)

Another beloved set of speakers of mine (ahhh...again

) were the Harbeth HL-P3/ES (there's an updated version currently).

Yep - speakers = better to me too.

Pro ac's are no slouch either.

 

[lmilhan]

Um ok, yeah.

Nice expensive loudspeakers being driven by an uber-expensive amp and you like the way it sounds better than the K1000s? No big surprise there.

I got all excited for a few seconds there thinking I would come into this thread to learn about a new pair of phones that blew away the K1000s. I knew that sounded too good to be true - and I was right. I just wish I didn't fall for it hook, line and sinker.

^ what he wrote. I came in this thread with my fingers poised over the s, p, e, a, k, e, r, and s keys......

 

[Pixel Pusher]

Hmm... I own both the K1K and 1SC. This thread is only putting

thoughts about an Air Tight in my mind.

 

[Jon L]

Interesting... I consider ProAc's to be the Sennheiser of speaker world, usually not the domain of AKG lovers.

No doubt the AirTight/Proac combo is sounding great, but there's certainly more "more" to be had in the monitor speaker world.

When I was in the monitor market I did a shootout with my dealer between the ProAc Response 1SC, Totem Mani-2, B&W Nautilus 805 and Ruark Sterling Solus. I do remember auditioning a pair of Wilson Audio's that blew away the competition but couldn't afford them. Eventually passed on both the B&W and Ruark, simply because the factory stands I felt were much over priced. It's been awhile so I can't recall my thoughts and opinions. Ended up with 1SC because I was given a price I couldn't refuse (my dealer is very pro British gear). In the end I'm still enjoying my decision.

Those are my Fav Monitors, with ATC 7 right behind. Great with Naim, but I bet Air Tight is even better!
