We have a fresh new supply of the wonderful ProAc D20R floor standing speakers in stock and in our listening room ready to audition. The D20R is a nice complement to the D30Rs that we carry. If you love the natural mid-range that ProAcs get so ‘right’, then you’ll love the D20R and D30R, with their ribbon tweeters that blend seamlessly with the 6.5″ bass driver. The sound and the look of these speakers are simply gorgeous. D30R review here.

Technology has made an entirely ‘Brave New World’ in HiFi audio these days… and mostly for the better. But with it comes the potential for a lot of complications and learning curve… At least… that’s how many perceive this brave new world. DACs, downloads, streaming, WiFi, Bluetooth, ethernet, hard drives, etc. Not to mention AIFF, WAV, MP3, DSD, 16/44, 24/96, 24/88, 24/192, 32/384, DSD, double DSD, Quad DSD… oh my!!!!! How can you get the best sound and modern advances, but without all of the potential headache and complications? And what about price? Well… Moon by SImaudio has been thinking about you.
