Very happy with the overall music and sound balance  - main thing for me is; am I engaged in the music....for example; recently owned Audio Physics Avanti which sounded more accurate, clean, transparent and with better soundstage but I found myself listening to the sound and not the music.... somehow it was too analytical for my taste....I found myself skipping tracks rather than listening to the entire albums, and barely was I tapping my foot or nodding my head....came back to ProAc and I am again, sitting in my chair forgetting about the sound and just happy tapping my feet in the rhythm of the music....
